Winters are challenging times for people who made a habit out of eating raw foods. Especially if temperatures go well below zero, those wonders of health suddenly don't look friendly anymore - considering none of us has the time to take them out of the fridge hours before eating them so they reach room temperature.
Not to worry! Here's the solution to it: combine it with a serving of piping hot nutritious grains. You can choose from a wide variety including brown rice (the white one is devoid of nutrients through the process of polishing), barley, quinoa. Besides giving a "hot" touch to the salad, these will bring their own nutritional benefits.
In case you don't have a salad recipe that you think might go with this suggestion, try this:
1-2 cups rice or grain (brown/basmati rice, barley, millet, quinoa or buckwheat)
juice of 1 lemon
1-2 teaspoons healthy oils (flax seed, olive, coconut)
salt to taste
1 avocado, chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
1/2 green / red / yellow capsicum finely cut
1-2 sprigs green onion (optional)
1/2 clove garlic, finely chopped (optional)
roasted almonds, whole or chopped (optional)
your choice of fresh or dried herbs (cilantro, basil, oregano)
pepper to taste
This is a recipe I got from Dr. Robert O Young's newsletter. He is a Ph.D who researched the importance of food in developing dis-ease free lifestyles, and his findings are simply amazing!
