Blended Salad

I learned this salad preparation technique from a holistic nutritionist. Blending all the raw ingredients into very small pieces makes it much easier to chew and digest. There are endless variations, and here is the one you will like to make often.

Ingredients

• 1/2 large cucumber
• 1/2 red or yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium tomato
• a few leaves of romaine or butter lettuce
• a slice of mild onion (vidalia or sweet red onion is nice)
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• ocean sea salt, added to the finished salad
• other optional ingredients: parsley or other fresh herbs, radishes, celery, etc.

All dried and ground herbs and spices must be organic or certified organic from the health store because all commercial products
are irradiated (zapped with radiation) which change and damage the body's cells if consumed.

Preparation

1. Coarsely chop all the vegetables and put them in a food processor fitted with a double blade, and add lemon juice.
2. Pulse until everything is chopped very fine. It will look like salsa!
3. Spoon it into a serving bowl and sprinkle with sea salt to taste.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over it as well, or some add sliced avocado on top. I like it topped with a few spoonfuls of tuna or salmon salad.
