Easy Peas-y Salad

One small tomato, on soft side and cut in half
1/2 red pepper, rough chunks
3 oz arugula
3 oz spinach
1/4 small sweet onion, chunks
1 basil leaf
broccoli sprouts or microgreens

Put all in food processor.  If can't fit all at once, use one 1/2 of tomato for one batch and the other half of the tomato for the 2nd batch of greens and veg.  Pulse until chopped to desired size.  I like mine on chunky side.  Put in bowl and add:

handful of raw English peas
small slice of serrano pepper, diced (optional)
handful of dulse
one whole lime, hand squeezed for juice
one whole orange, hand squeezed for juice

Mix together and enjoy!

4 large cauliflower florets.

1/4th small red onion OR 3 green onions if you want to add more colors
4 small slices of serrano, diced before put into processor

Throw all above ingredients into food processor and process until cauliflower looks like little bits of rice.  Dice serrano before you put in because will leave in big chunks.

Low-fat Dehydrated Bread (not technically purely raw)*

Juice carrots, sweet potato, eggplant, and head of cilantro (other greens like parsley and kale are great too) in between* eggplant pieces.  


*Tip - Juicing green veg in between fruit (eggplant is a fruit) will help it to go through 
the juicer more efficiently.   

Optional - raw black olives (this will add overt fat - check cronometer.com)



DIRECTIONS: Take pulp out of juicer and put into food processor.  Add diced tomatoes (without seeds), green onions and herbs like rosemary and garlic and blend everything together.  Spread on a baking dish and bake in oven at 110 for about 4 hours and flip and then 4 hours on other side.  Check often to see when done.

*If you want it to be fully raw and still dehydrated, put out in mesh clothes bag on a flat plate and hang from clothesline on a sunny, dry day.  May take more than one day of sun.   


Raw Pickled Radish

1 white radish (sometimes called daikon or Chinese white radish)
1/8 cup lemon juice

1/8 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated turmeric
