Okay, this is probably not revolutionary, but it made my day. TH was having raw pizza for dinner last night. (It makes me so happy that he loves raw pizza!)
I was trying to decide what to make for my lunch the next day when it hit me- raw pizza salad!
I started with a bowl of zucchini noodles.
Then I added a mound of kale, chopped and marinated in a little EVOO, ACV, and sea salt.
Carmella's tomato sauce from Delightfully Raw came next. (I love that stuff.)
Viv had previously blended some cheeze for TH's pizza so I added a bit of that, along with some olives.
Macadamia Nut Cheeze
1 cup macadamia nuts
juice of 1 squeezed lemon
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 cup water
Blend until smooth, adding more water if necessary.
It was such a delicious lunch! I'm so glad I have enough ingredients to make more for tomorrow.
Question: Do you make actual salad recipes, or just toss together whatever veggies/fruits you have available? (I tend to ignore the salad sections in recipe books. Maybe I shouldn't...?)
I'm definitely a toss-it-together person, salad and most other things, I guess! But I do browse recipes and get ideas from them about specific pairings and textures. And the mango salad in Everyday Raw Food (which I had on interlibrary loan over the holidays) was quite a revelation.

ReplyDeleteEla, I also love browsing recipe books for ideas. I have to go look at the mango salad in Everyday Raw. It's awesome that your library had that book.

ReplyDeleteMe too, Kelli! I think it's so much tastier than cooked pizza.
That looks sooooooo good!
ReplyDeleteI have 4 zucchini right now and not much else, have no idea what I will throw together to eat tomorrow with that??? Bummer. I will have to get really creative and raid the herb garden and toss in the two tomatoes I have as well. But now what to do for a sauce???
I guess I am answering your salad question by my rambling.
Peace and Raw Health,
