The Amazing Fantastic Raw Vegan Salad!

The title says it all! This salad blew my taste buds away. Jerry and I kept coming back for more! Hearty, healthy and delicious. My body craves nutritious meals like this! Full of Quinoa, nuts, seeds, and fresh organic produce!





Ingredients:
  1. Handful of Organic Green Baby Lettuce 
  2. Handful of sprouts (We grow ours!)
  3. 1/4-1/2 onion, chopped
  4. 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  5. 2 organic carrots - peeled, grated
  6. 1/4 organic cucumber - sliced / chopped thin
  7. 3 radishes, sliced / chopped thin
  8. 1 cup pre-cooked and cooled quinoa (water, garlic salt and pepper)
  9. Small handful slivered almonds & raisins & flax seeds.
  10. 10 organic cherry tomatoes
  11. 2 sheets Trader Joe's Roasted Seaweed sliced (Opt: Has a "fishy" taste)
  12. Trader Joe's Soy Ginger Dressing
Preparation:
  • Combine ingredients 1 - 7 in order listed above. 
  • Toss the salad.
  • Place quinoa on the outside of the salad to frame the salad.
  • Place silvered almonds & raisins on the inside of the quinoa. 
  • Place small handful of flax seeds in the center of the salad.
  • Place cherry tomatoes on top of the quinoa, spacing out.
  • Place sliced Roasted seaweed in-between the cherry tomatoes.
  • Serve with dressing of choice - we found TJ's Soy Ginger Dressing went really well!
