May Salads

Hello Every One and happy May to you !

Doesn't feel like spring today. Very chilly and rainy.

Towards the summer I look forward to preparing Watermelon soup and tasty salads. Salads were a big challenge for me because I never knew how to blend or combine vegetables. It was all about cutting up the celery, cauliflower or carrots into bite size pieces to prevent choking.
The majority of people think salads are all that is eaten when you are on a raw food lifestyle. You can tell when you are invited to a restaurant and view the menu. The variety is lacking when you are ordering a salad. When I'm around friends who are not raw foodist, I carry a request letter for the chef to combine fruit and vegetables I would enjoy eating.
The smartest invention is the Spiral Slicer I have in my kitchen cabinet. The root vegetables take on a creative thinner and curly appearance. This makes the salads eye catching. I love eating new combinations when it comes to salads. Salads should never be boring.

I found some fresh chick-peas in their
pods.This is my first time buying them like this. They are fresh and can be eating without the soaking or sprouting. They are very soft and green.














Chick-peas are a vegetarian source of protein. One cup supplies 14.5 grams of protein. This protein is made up of 18 amino acids. This includes glutamic acid, aspartic acid and arginine. Arginine is important for liver and immune system health. Also contains 12.5 g of fiber. I've got to make sure I'm on top of my protein intake. I will physically feel bad. If you decide to go on a raw food lifestyle do the research on ways to get enough protein in your diet. Chick peas are delicious when fresh mint and parsley are added to them .

Another good salad combo is Avocado-spinach-orange. Yum!
Enjoy.



I have this sweater blazer I'm not really crazy about. The attraction was the details in the weave. A tailored blazer in a heavier wool or cotton blend is the best . When I purchased this I immediately changed the buttons from plastic to wood. It has a more earthy appearance.




The dark teal pants are self-made and the denim blouse is from an outlet store.
