This is a recipe for that kind of soooo delicious a salad you wonder why you don't take the extra 15 minutes to make a big old salad like this every day!
As with all my recipes here on Raw Genesis, you are free to make adjustments and substitutions. I would suggest that you use the absolute most fresh, ripe, organic, local produce you can manage. Of course, I live on Vancouver Island so yo will know that the lemons, pecans, olive oil, Celtic Sea Salt, and cayenne came from quite a distance, but the other produce is conceivably local.
Fresh Living Italian Dressing
Add the following to the canister of a VitaMix and blend until smooth:
- 1 C. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 C. Fresh-squeezed Lemon Juice
- 2 T. Maple Syrup (Dark C Grade)
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp. Fresh Oregano
- 2 tsp. Parsley
- 1 tsp. Basil
- Pinch of Cayenne
- Pinch of Celtic Sea Salt
The Salad Proper
- 5 C. grated or thinly sliced organic Cabbage
- 1 C. grated organic Carrot
- 1/2 C. Green Onion, chopped
- 1/2 C. organic raw Pecans
- 2 organic Apples, cored and quartered
Crisp and delicious! Makes enough for 8 folks, apparently, although makes for a hugely satisfying meal for 2 as well.
Put 1/2 to 3/4 of the dressing in a dark glass bottle in the fridge for the next salad.
