Super Energy Salad
Eat as much as you like!
Eating plenty of fresh raw colorful but mostly green vegetables,
and leafy vegetables, is the key to good health, lowered blood
sugar, more energy, better digestion, better elimination and a
feeling of satisfaction by having eaten something truly good for
you, and no guilt! Always buy and eat organic vegetables. Switch
to Organic and keep yourself and your family free from
toxic chemical sprays regularly found on fruits and vegetables.
You deserve the best of health.
This mixture of green and red vegetables along with some raw or soaked nuts is a great lunch or supper, make it big enough to have alone for the entire meal, or have a big portion with the rest of your food.
Chop up into bite size pieces,
250 gm raw cabbage
250 gm tomato
250 gm cucumber
250 gm onion
100 gm red or yellow capsicum
Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon pulverized rock salt, toss and set aside for 5 minutes and toss again, then add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, (the juice of one whole small Indian lemon or about half of the type typically found in the west.) Toss again.
Rinse and dry a good amount of fresh leafy green lettuce, and/or
spinach and tear into small pieces with your hands, (or cut
with a knife.)
Chop up a bunch of parsley or fresh coriander
leaves with a scissors (or knife) and add to the above greens.
Mix together the greens and the chopped vegetables to make a salad.
Add some tasty olives such as Greek calamata
olives, and/or add any of the following:
Raw Cashews
Raw Sunflower seeds
Soaked Almonds (soak almonds over night or for 6-8
hours in clean water and rinse before serving. Soaking activates the
enzymes in the almonds and makes them much more digestible and healthy),
peel before eating.
Dribble 2 tablespoons of Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
over the salad, toss, serve, eat and enjoy.
This should make about two nice size portions. Of course it depends on how much you and your family like to eat.
Make variations: sometimes using parsley, sometimes
coriander, and try celery, chopped cabbage or other green vegetables.
Grated carrots can also be very nice. If you don't have any leafy
greens, just use the vegetables. You can be creative. You can
lightly roast the seeds if you want to, but don't use fried nuts
or seeds, they just aren't healthy, the fats get destroyed and
turn into free radicals. And good fats
are so important to our health.
