1/4 of a cucumber
5 celery stalks
big handful of spinach
1 tbsp. dulse strips

Put tomatoes and lime at the bottom of blender and blend for 10 seconds.  Add rest and blend another 30 secs.  Can mix and match these and leave off some.  Really quite flexible.

Tomato Basil Soup

3 celery stalks
2 garlic cloves
1 small slice jalapeno
1/4th small sweet onion

Max Flavor Salad

3 oz. spinach
3 oz. arugula
1 package of microgreens
4 small tomatoes, cut 1/8ths
1/2 small sweet onion, half spirals
1/2 small serrano, chopped finely
1 tsp. freshly dried rosemary
1 tbsp shredded dulse (or flakes)
1 large garlic, diced into very tiny pieces
1/4 inch fresh ginger root, cut into small bits
2 limes, squeezed
1 valencia orange, squeezed
cucumber, diced (optional)
red pepper, diced (optional)

Key to this salad is to put spinach and arugula into bowl and cut up until the amount looks far less.  Add lime and orange juice.  Mix well and let sit while cutting up the rest of the salad.  Add each item as it is ready and mix.  The spinach and arugula will wilt and soak up the dressing.  It is very flavorful and drink the dressing when the salad is finished:)
