If you've been following my blog, you know that I am exploring the ideas and food that fall under the category of "raw" food. I've learned a ton about nutrition this week and have formed my own opinions about the raw food movement (I'll post about that in a future posting).
All this research has really pointed out that most of us really could benefit from a lot more raw food in our diets, whether or not you believe that humans should eat entirely raw. So here's an example of a scrumptious way to get some living food into your body. The idea is so simple that it really doesn't qualify as a recipe, but I thought it was so good that it's worth mentioning.
Grab a big bowl, cutting board and chef's knife. Collect any and all veggies from your stash--whatever is in your fridge that day. Romaine lettuce, kale, carrots, red pepper, broccoli, parsley, cucumber, cilantro, whatever you have on hand. Start chopping. Keep chopping. Throw it all in a bowl. Add some type of fruit--fresh or dried-in small pieces. Add raw sunflower seeds or raw sliced almonds--not too much. Last, dress with your favorite dressing. Viola! A wonderful chopped salad that wakes up all of your taste buds. And it even keeps in the refidgerator if you have leftovers. Now that's whacky!
