I know what you're thinking...aren't ALL salads raw? Not so much. Check out this (g)astronomical list from Men's Health. Or this one from examiner.com. Blech.
I am trying to eat 75-80% raw for the summer. Today is day 5. For this to work it needs to be fairly simple, relatively economical, not at all fanatical, and delicious.
I created this salad solely based upon what we already had in the house. I have no intention of following difficult recipes with complicated ingredients to make raw versions of foods that were never meant to be raw in the first place. This is more of a suggestion than a recipe. You can take a few ideas from it and then go to town with your own salad.
Raw Salad
Suggested Ingredients
greens (I used spinach)
beets
carrots
cucumbers
raw cloves of garlic
coarse sea salt
pepper
fresh lemon juice
Pile greens on each plate. Grate about 1/3 c. raw beets onto each salad. Grate or chop about 1/3 c. carrots onto each salad. Chop about 1/2 cucumber and add to each salad. Chop 2 cloves garlic per salad and put on top of salad. Drizzle lemon juice, sprinkle salt and pepper. Enjoy.
If you are not eating completely raw, you might add some green olives or high quality olive oil.
