After reading about Obesity becoming a Global problem, it is time to think a little about raw foods, or fresh raw salads on your daily menu.
A beautiful fruit bowl for breakfast of three or four fruits...eat as much as you want, according to Dr. Hans Diehl.
(Melons should be eaten separate.) A MELON SALAD of Honeydew, Cantelope, Casaba, and Watermelon.
And again at lunch a huge plate of gorgeous colorful vegies. as this:
A VARIETY STACKED SALAD
Place a bed of lettuce on a plate and add layers of:
red, yellow and greeN bell peppers,
cucumber rounds,
large slices of tomato,
topped with a grated carrot.
sliced avacado
Could be eaten without a dressing, or just a squeeze of lemon.
COLORFUL BEET SALAD
Peel 1 beet, 1 carrot, cut into matchstick peices
Mince 1 red onion
Slice diagonally 1 rib of celery
Top with dressing if desired.
Quite often for lunch, (my main meal) I make this GRATED VEGIE SALAD:
Grate 1/4 cup of each of the following vegetables and place on a plate lined with fresh spinach, or lettuce:
Carrots, beets, red cabbage, my winter squash, chopped cucumber or whatever other vegetable you may desire.
Serve with your favorite dressing. I used my Avacado-tofu Dressing.
CHOPPED SALAD
Broccoli is the only vegie I do not like raw until I tried chopping it, and it is wonderfull with chopped cauliflower, onion carrot, cucumber, all chopped and mixed with lemon, and tofu mayonaise. And soooo healthy for you.
