It may sound funny to set aside one day to celebrate a category of food that is fundamental to our existence. However, here it is. So let's celebrate! There is certainly cause for celebration if this day helps to raise awareness about eating more vegetables. The sad truth is, not everyone has the mighty vegetable on their food eating radar.
While cooking isn't my forte, I am a great maker of salads. So today I am going to share with you a typical salad that I make several times a week.
Ingredients:
Red leaf lettuce, Romaine lettuce or mixed field greens
Red cabbage
Red onion
Celery
Radish
Cucumber
Carrots
Red pepper
Pumpkin seeds
Slivered almonds
Nutritional yeast
Sprouts (e.g. alfalfa, radish, broccoli, clover)
Sauerkraut
Herbamare - Fresh organic herbs & vegetables aromatic sea salt
Homemade salad dressing
1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup Apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp maple syrup
(Note: Red and orange colours are missing from picture. Time to go shopping.)
My secret is out there for all to enjoy! I hope you will find this so good, you will get excited about eating salad for lunch or dinner more often. Of course, you may wish to add your favourite fish such as tuna or salmon. Happy vegetable day everyone!
