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!

Confetti Rice Boats

4 large cauliflower florets.
1 red endive stalk
1 small ripe mango, skin removed
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.


1 lime, squeezed
1 navel orange, squeezed
10 romaine lettuce heart leaves


Squeeze lime and orange juice over processed veg.  Put into romaine lettuce leaves.  Optional - add dulse or sea lettuce leaves on top.
