Mmmmmmmm.....Salad...Peace!!This is a short post today, I'm leaving Michigan tomorrow and I am just all over the place trying to get stuff done!Ok so this salad I made during the summer and found a picture of it stashed away in my old Flickr acct. The ingredients are as follows:- Pineapple
- Papaya
- Spring salad mix
- Dulse flakes
- Olive oil
- Bean sprouts
With this salad, I used the juice from the fruit to serve as the dressing. With a lil' bit of olive oil splashed on there mmm mmm mm!. The dulse flakes served as the savory part of the meal. It was really delicious.Mango is amazing on salad as well (if you don't do like me and eat it before it reaches the plate lol). A week does not go by that I don't throw orange slices in there as well. Remember, creativity is key!!Ok so a heads up, I will be on a mini 'vacation' of sorts until January 11th. Once I get situated I will have lots more things to discuss (finally!). Peace and see you back in NyC!!!!
Peace!Something random reminded me that I had a picture on file on SoulVegFolk of a salad I used to make during the summer that was so good I ate it three days in a row. My 'Mardi Gras' salad. Why Mardi Gras? No reason in particular.I like to take it to the next level with my salads by creating color themes. In this case it was Green, 'Gold', and Purple. This will ensure that I'm incorporating the variety I need in my daily routine. I've also made an 'Irie' and 'Italian Stallion' salad focusing on red/green/yellow and red/white/green respectively. So what's in the Mardi Gras salad? From what I remember: - Spinach
- Dandelion greens
- Green leaf lettuce
- Cucumber
- Green and yellow bell peppers
- Red cabbage
- Red onion (about as purple as I'm going to get)
- Grapes (didn't think of it at the time but would pair well)
- Dulse flakes
- Agave/Dijon dressing with regular dijon mustard, olive oil for consistency, sea salt, cracked black pepper, and agave for sweetness.
There you go! Get the babies involved too; maybe they have a favorite colorful character on tv that you could emulate and morph into their favorite salad. I think that'll be on the menu for this upcoming weekend. Try it and let me know what you think!Peace!
