South Beach Diet Recipe

Did you ever expect that a cool salad would be a popular menu item for your body on a cold, and wintry day? Most expect that hot breads and soups are the antidote to the winter blues, but I challenge you to take a check and see for yourself. Our bodies are hungry for the nutritional value found in raw foods - vitamins, minerals, fibers and proteins when it's cold and dark outside.

In case you want the benefits of ingesting much more raw foods as compared with how much you do currently, yet are nonetheless not totally willing to opt to a completely raw food kitchen, fresh salad recipes are a way to start. The veggie centered salads in "Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People" are made with live ingredients which you'll manage to find in the produce section of almost any supermarket.

Raw food salad recipes are not odd or weird in any way. In fact, once you sample a salad or two, I'm convinced that you'll be convinced that not only are salads superior nutritionally, they taste fantastic too. Another attractive feature is how quickly you can make them. Some chopping, some slicing, maybe a marinade or spin in the blender and voila! you've turned a simple lunch with friends into a delicious event where your salad is the star of the show.

My Harvest Salad recipe is really a raw food classic in more ways than one. In addition to needing no cooking with no processed ingredients, it will take taking advantage of the seasonal bounty: in this instance the red leaf lettuce and ripe pears that one could locate and your nearby farmer's market.

"Harvest Salad Recipe"

This kind of salad is really a delectable 1st course for lunch. To transform it into a raw cuisine lunch entre, include a few nuts for added proteins.

* 2 cups torn red leaf lettuce
* 1/2 ripe pear, thinly sliced (an apple might be substituted)
* two tbsps. Classic Vinaigrette (see below)
* one tbs chopped pecans (unsoaked)
* one tbsp. dried out cranberries which have been soaked for 10 mins in h2o to plump

The first three ingredients should be tossed together in a mixing bowl, then carefully transferred to a serving plate. Once the salad in on the platter, distribute the nuts and fruit on the top.

The Harvest Salad is complemented perfectly by the Classic Vinaigrette - another raw recipe I couldn't survive without. The fruity, full-bodied flavor is carried by one special ingredient - apple cider vinegar.
* one tbsp. apple cider vinegar (you could substitute balsamic vinegar should you prefer)
* 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (elective)
* 1/2 tsp salt
* Dash black pepper (optional)
* 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Put the vinegar, mustard, salt, & pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the essential olive oil and whisk till smooth.

Live Foods Salad Special
Now, for a little artistic flair. I keep a collection of sharp knives and other kitchen gadgets in my drawers. You will be surprised how something is easy as carrot ribbons - created with a peeler for vegetables - can make a plate of normal lettuce and pears look like it just came from a beauty pageant.

More salad please!
