Haricots Verts & Heirloom Salade de Provence

September 16, 2008

(raw vegetarian, raw vegan modifiable*, gluten-free) This is a classic example of letting high quality fresh food speak for itself.  No need to overly complicate, and very simply dressed.  This was like, a magnificent Alice Waters moment. Over the weekend, I went to the Winter Park Farmer’s Market which is held every Saturday from 7:00 [...]

Japanese Shiso-Miso Slaw with Arame

September 1, 2008

(raw vegan, gluten free*) So we had a nice little Labor Day shindig today in the typical all-American spirit of grilling out.  There were portobella burgers, veggie burgers, veggie chorizo dogs, Zellwood chili-garlic corn, and of course all of the accoutrements one would expect with all that casual finger-licking fare.  However, coleslaw in its old-fashioned [...]

Super Antioxidant Summer Fruit Salad

July 15, 2008

(raw vegan, gluten-free) This simple, refreshing, colorful, super-nutritious fruit salad is packed with antioxidants and vitamin C. A squeeze of lime juice and a fine chiffonade of mint gives it a delicious kick of brightness. Pomegranate seeds, in lieu of raspberries, also work very well when they’re in season. Makes 6-8 generous servings. Simply combine [...]

Olé-Olé Pepper Party Salad with Lime & Avocado

July 15, 2008

(raw vegan, gluten-free) The hot weather calls for refreshing dishes, and this salad includes a sensational way to incorporate citrus in your salad. In fact, it’s my new thing…paper thin slices of citrus like lime, lemons, and oranges lend a unique “pop” in flavor. And the entire slice is edible, peel and all, so long [...]

Sweet Wakame and Ginger Kale Salad

April 15, 2008

(raw vegan*) This is a delicious, simple salad that’s perfect to try if you’re just getting acclimated to sea vegetables. Wakame is soft and tender with a mild, sweet flavor. When I first served this to my family, it was gone in minutes after they once looked down at it cock-eyed because in no way [...]

Arame Zinger Salad with Hot Cuke Tataki

April 15, 2008

(raw vegan*) Warning: This bold and spicy seaweed salad is not for the faint hearted! I love spicy foods, which is clearly reflected in many of my recipes. Of course, you can modify the spiciness by reducing or omitting the jalepenos and chili oil and it’ll still be delicious. Arame is a quick and easy [...]

Heirloom Tomato & Raw Manouri Salad w/Fresh Herbs & Meyer Lemon Leek Vinaigrette

April 3, 2008

(raw vegetarian, raw vegan modifiable*) My husband is Greek and takes his cheese very seriously. Manouri cheese is a traditional semi-soft Greek cheese of which he found a raw version one day while visiting the Greek community in Tarpon Springs, FL. If you are a raw vegan, this salad is just as delicious without the [...]

Scrumptious Sea Vegetable Salad

November 7, 2007

(raw vegan) I’m absolutely in love with sea vegetables and this salad is simple yet busy enough for those who are still a bit timid of seaweed. Use what’s in season and what you’ve got in your fridge. There are of course, some key staples that make the salad what it is – an addictive [...]
