Radish and Grapefruit Salad

                 Radish and Grapefruit Salad

This is probably a food combining nightmare, but man was it delicious. Fruit is suppose to be eaten alone, I know, but I really have not had a problem, as of yet, with food combinations. I don't know if that will change in the future but right now I am happy and feel wonderful with all of the raw food dishes I eat. I tend to make this salad very often, changing a few things each time, so it will look similar to a previous post. This is the type of salad that I have for breakfast. If I don't get a green juice in the morning I have to have a salad to satisfy my craving for GREENS!
This version had a wonderful dressing that I sweetened with Wholesome Sweetners Organic Amber Raw Honey. I LOVE this honey!! And it is Fair Trade. It also contained one of my other favorite condiments, Coconut Aminos.
The salad was very simple but loaded with vegetables and of course my own broccoli sprouts. If I said it before, I'll say it again, I love my sprouts.

Honey Dijon Dressing

2 tsp Wholesome Sweetners Organic Amber Raw Honey
2 tsp Organic Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1/4 C first cold pressed EVOO
1 capful of Coconut Aminos

Wisk all till creamy smooth. The combo of this honey and the EVOO produces a lovely creamy dressing.


Radish and Grapefruit Salad

Mixture of  Organic Baby Romaine
1 red, yellow and orange mini sweet pepper, sliced
1 carrot finely diced in processor
2 large red radishes, sliced
1 organic grapefruit, cubed
2 celery stalks, sliced
Large handful of broccoli sprouts
1 scallion, sliced

Enjoy!
~JMJ~Today I am grateful for quiet reading time...well, not really quiet but I did get a chance to read from a really good book today. I will be blogging about it once I'm finished reading it. It is a fantastic book about, what else, raw foods. I wish I would have know about it a year ago when I began this journey. Peace and Eat More RAW!

I think you will really love this salad, everything in it just goes so well together...it is one of my top salads.
I hear yah about the food combining and not worrying too much, but I think as I get farther along in my raw journey, I really will have to pay more attention to it. One thing I NEVER eat with any other food is melon. I only eat melon all by it's self.
Peace,

Another Salad Dressing Post

-
Today I would like to share some really great raw salad dressings. Wait, aren't all salad dressings considered raw? No they are not. Remember, you have to be very careful about the ingredients you use. Raw salad dressings are as unprocessed as possible. Using ingredients that are as close as possible to their natural state. That is why I choose first cold pressed olive oils, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar and coconut vinegar, fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits. You get the picture. But keep in mind sometimes I will use a small amount of ingredients that may not be truly raw. For example, real maple syrup is heated to reduce the amount of water content and to make the syrup into what it is when we purchase it in jars. And I am pretty sure balsamic vinegar is not raw. I still love the taste sometimes in dressings so I don't mind using a tiny amount. I am not an extreme raw foodist . If I choose to eat something that is not raw I am fine with that. Keep it simple or you set you

My First Post

~ JMJ ~ I am happy to start posting on my new blog. I should introduce myself first. I am a wife and a mother of five children. I home school all of my children for religious and academic reasons. I choose to eat a raw living food diet. I love raw food and how this living food makes me feel. I have been eating raw living foods since November, 2009. My goal is to consume foods as close as possible to the way they appear in nature, the way God created them to be. Here I will share my experiences with the raw food lifestyle and great recipes I make/create each day. I will share raw food recipes, my sprouting adventures, square foot gardening and container gardening, favorite raw food book titles, raw food products, kitchen appliances, and tools that have helped me with food preparation. From time-to-time I just might share some homeschooling thoughts, experiences, ideas, and tips. I will also take time to reflect back on my days and find all the ways I can experience gratitude.

Health Benefits of Sea Vegetables

Elizabeth's Sea Vegetable Salad Lunch yesterday was a fabulous salad made with loads of fresh vegetables and  sea vegetables. I used the Creamy Thai Dressing from yesterday's salad dressing post. I decided to use the red pepper flakes instead of the Thai bird chilies. I like things slightly spicy, not overly spicy. The red pepper flakes gave it just the right amount of heat. I enjoyed this salad so much, I was tempted to lick my plate when it was all gone! If you are trying sea vegetables for the first time you may want to use less than I did in my recipe. I really adore them so my recipe has quite a bit. Alter it to your tastes and I'm sure it will be fantastic. Below the recipe I have pasted an excellent article outlining the wonderful health benefits of sea vegetables. It also points out the one sea vegetable you should steer clear of. Please read it and educate yourself. You will be truly amazed at how healthful these plants are. Here is my
