Simple Lunch Salad

I love fresh veggies! I also love salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This I made for lunch today and it totally hit the spot. Now the trick is, I am the only vegan on the planet who doesn't like the taste of raw tomato... Weird, I know. I keep trying them and I keep not liking them, but I am assured I will get there some day. Putting that aside, I try to put tomato in whenever I can, in this case, fresh salsa! Yeah, I put salsa on my salad. Sure did.

You will need:

~Spinach
~Carrots
~Favorite onion
~Fresh Cilantro
~Favorite fresh salsa
~Lime juice
~Apple Cider Vinegar
~Olive oil

Cut all that stuff up and throw it in a bowl. Put the salsa then the cilantro and then the lime juice, vinegar and oil. A little pepper on top is delicious. I also like to have a really spicy salsa to put on top. It makes for a neat combination for the taste buds!

Today I topped it off with a nice bowl of fresh fruit! Cherries, blueberries and some dried plums! The plums have a little too much sugar for my liking, but I don't eat them very often so what the hay!

Neat Sites to Visit

Everyone should visit these sites, omnivores, vegetarians and vegans alike! It will tell you how to get the 'stuff' our bodies need and what we illusion ourselves into thinking we are getting. Let me know what you think! There is also a link to Vegan Outreach and a blog by Jack Norris, both of which are amazing sites and provide free weekly enewsletters for those who want them.

Hello there!

This site is designed to broaden the ideas of cooking and hold at bay the ingredients which destroy the art of eating. Eating is living. Just like breathing, smiling, experiencing etc. Too many things are wrong with the picture of food. Why we need it, what it is used for, how we get it, why we like it, how it is prepared... I could go on and on. I am creating a place for questions, research, comments and best of all recipes I have devised to, in a very appropriate term, 'tortilla' my findings and share it with you! There is food here for everyone, so enjoy health!
