I'm trying to make myself a salad for tomorrow for lunch, but I've recently tried to follow the Raw Foods Diet plan type thing. Can anyone help me come up with things to put in my salad so I don't break the Raw Foods plan??? Also, should I add nuts to my salad? Walnuts or toasted almonds?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!|||lettuce(preferably romaine) and fruit(cucumbers, tomatoes, oranges and red bell pepper come to mind) like any salad. For dressing blend up some orange, and maybe some red bell pepper.
I stay away from store bought nuts and seeds as they've been dehydrated, I'm also just not a big fan of nuts and seeds, they're a bit addictive even know they don't really taste that good. I think I'll stick with fruit.|||Enjoy the wholesome goodness of my world famous Moroccan carrot salad:
1 pound wholesome carrots, coarsely grated (about 4 cups)
1/4 cup vegetable oil or extra-virgin olive oil
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
2 to 4 cloves garlic, mashed or minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin or 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
Pinch of salt
About 1/2 teaspoon harissa (Northwest African chili paste), 1 tablespoon minced green chilies, or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
PreparationIn a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days to allow the flavors to meld and permeate the wholesome carrots. Served chilled or at room temperature.|||you can add anything to a salad its totally up to you just think of raw vegetables that you like or fruits too like strawberries and orange slices..i prefer toasted almonds thats what i put on my salads..oh and raw fish like salmon|||Avocado Spring Salad:
1 tomato, finely diced
1 small garlic clove, finely diced
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 large avocado
1/4 onion, finely diced
juice of 1 lime
about 10-12 crushed almonds
2 cups of spinach
1/2 cup of purslane
1/2 cup of mix greens
1/2 cup of shredded carrots
Begin by preparing the spinach in a salad bowl, and then add in the shredded carrots, mix greens and also the purslane. Remember to previously wash all ingredients before using. Also purslane may be difficult to locate in your area, but don't worry if you can't manage to find some. Fortunately the salad will still work great without purslane. Although, I enjoy adding purslane because it gives a unique tangy accent to the over all taste. Also, mix greens can be a variety of lettuces and salad herbs; usually you can find this at your local market previously packaged. Mix all of these ingredients well in the salad bowl, and set aside.
Now, start finely dicing tomato, onion, and garlic clove. Then in a wooden bowl mix the diced tomato, onion, and garlic with a large avocado. With a spoon or a small cup smash the ingredients into a nice pur茅e. After you've smashed the tomato, onion, garlic and avocado add in 2 spoons of olive oil and lime juice and mix well with a fork or spoon.
Pour the finished pur茅e over the previously prepared green salad, and finally add the crushed almonds. Mix and enjoy with fruit and water.
The Avocado Spring Salad is light, healthy and can be enjoyed for lunch.
Serves: 2
Preparation time: 15 mins.|||sprouts are really health raw food that you can grow at home. nuts are a good source of protein and healthy fats. but if you toast them they are cooked not raw.|||y is this under vegetarian/vegan...... we do not eat meat
