salad

Red radishes have almost no nutritive value. They contain no vitamin A, are very low in protein, and contain only a little vitamin C and potassium. However, they are good filler in salads. They can also pickled or used in stir fry veggies or soups. They also can be used to make a variety of food decorations on a buffet table!

I just made myself a salad. "Made" is a bit of a stretch. I opened the "salad in a sack" package, poured some into a bowl, added a dash of cheese, and sprinkled on a little dressing. I noticed that the sack o' salad had a recipe for Cobb salad on the back. The prep time for this recipe was 25 minutes.

1) If you mix the oil and vinegar into a salad separately,add the oil first.If you reverse the order,the oil just slides off the wet leaves.

2) Slice tomatoes vertically rather than horizontally.The slices will stay firmer in your salad and they'll help keep the salad dressing from getting watery.

So often do I eat my vegetables in a the form of a salad that I forget sometimes how they look and taste separately. This was also the case with tomatoes.

I just wanted to have a quick snack before going to bed. I have heard that this is not the healthiest practice in the world, so perhaps I was punished for it. Having prepared a simple cheese sandwich, I wanted to add something juicy; I opened the fridge in search of a suitable fruit and my eyes fell upon the nutritious tomatoes.

2 lbs Cole Slaw mix

For those of you taking bets on how long I would last, I caved. And then again, I didn't. Most raw foodists consider 75%+ of your diet to be a successful raw diet. I've gone three and a half days at probably 95% raw foods. Tonight I needed something hot. lol

Tonight, I'm having a lovely mexican chicken soup. Apart from the microscopic bites of chicken, it is all veggies, and the calories are really great, so even this isn't a defeat. Pretty much everyone agrees that there's no way to go on a raw food diet cold tofurkey. Ha! I made a vegan joke. Somebody shoot me.

Opening the refrigerator door, I knew right away what I wanted. Mixed greens, feta,avocado,artichoke hearts, and black olives. Yummo! Until I pulled out the lettuce....

This summer heat destroys everything. The fridge stays cold enough so why the ruined greens? No greens, no salad.

I still wanted to feta cheese...in fact it was probably the feta I wanted all along...the salad was just an excuse. There were plenty of eggs. Eggs and feta.....eggs,feta, and Tabasco....now there's a meal.
