Salads

Introduction: No More Boring Salads!

Salads are under-rated by many. Many people treat them as the thing on the side that you should eat and they eat a hot meal as their main nutrition. I know because that used to be me! But salads can be the most amazing main part of your meal and I want to show you how!

This book was written especially for the uninspired and salad-bored majority who are tired of the same old lettuce, tomato, onion concoction with a few embellishments. Maybe you have a store-bought dressing or 2 in your fridge that you use for every vegetable combination. No wonder the salad pizzazz has gone. Or maybe it was never there.

Well! Worry no more. There is a way out from the tedium. You can make incredible salads with less than a handful of ingredients in total, that will knock your proverbial socks off! And you can make sophisticated salads that will delight your taste buds too.

Your satisfaction is only limited by your willingness to experiment and appreciate the many ideas and guidelines in this book.

But making salads is just half the story! What you dress your salad with can revitalize your palate and revolutionize your meals. When you use interesting, scrumptious dressings, they can transform just about ANY vegetable into the taste sensation you have been craving.

In this book youll find a range of salads. From the simple to the sophisticated in terms of numbers of ingredients and complexity and types of inclusions. What will really get your appetite going is when you discover the world of dressings (including salsas and dips) and how to pair them with your salads.

This is why youll find more dressings and dips in this book than the actual salad recipes.

I hope you are inspired to know that you can eat a salad with just about any vegetable in it. You can choose your ingredients based on creating deliciously nutritious blends. But rest assured, that even if you find yourself with little more than the humble lettuce, onion and tomato in your fridge one day, that youll find a cornucopia of amazing things to dress them with and be excited about it.

What about my salad-phobic children?

What children are served when they are very young really can pave the way to the tastes that they develop (naturally). Because of the cultural leanings and fast food availability (which have become cultural habits) many children are salad-resistant and dont eat nearly enough raw vegetables and fruit and green leafy vegetables.

Your journey with your children in mind, will involve finding innovative ways to tempt them. You may find simple vegetable sticks with crazy, delicious and interesting dips and thicker dressings could be the key.

The other wonderful way is to front load them with green smoothies. These are pretty much salads in a glass that are extremely kid-friendly (aka people-friendly) that provide the nutrition along with the sweetness of fruit. I have found with my own family that using green smoothies has made our daughter way more interested in experimenting with salads. My goal of providing her with the best nutrition I can is made so much easier.

If you need a quick, easy and delicious stepping stone to incredible nutrition, then please also take a look at my other book called Green Smoothie Magic. Its a bestseller that has been delighting thousands around the world.

This series of cooking and food preparation books is something that I am in the throes of creating, that combines my love of great food, simplicity and ease. Its important to me that the recipes are highly adaptable to you and your needs and that you can find just about any of the ingredients within these pages at your supermarket and your local farmers market.

So, lets take a look at sensational salads...

Making Super Salads

Something I learned about two decades ago when I read Lesley and Susannah Kentons book Raw Energy is that if you want to really enjoy the flavors of your vegetables then cut them very small. Seems silly that a small detail (pardon the pun) would make such an impression on me.

Out of that was born one of our family favorites The Super Salad.

You dont always have to cut everything small. The trick is to prepare your vegetables differently . Its not very attractive (for the eyes, the palate or the stomach) for every salad you eat to look the same.

Friends of mine, Laurentine and James who produced the world famous Food Matters movie and the Hungry For Change movie, told me in an interview for my yoga website (http://www.HotYogaDoctor.com) that a simple, fantastic way of really amping up the quality of your food intake is to Add A Salad.

Add a salad

This simple rule is one that can transform your eating habits and your health. It came as a big relief to distill the path to vibrant health to something so incredibly easy. Of course, creating some reasonable variety is still key.

If youve been making the same old salad with the same bottled vinaigrette then it is exciting to know that you can make changes easily. This is what this book is about.

So, adding a salad can help you make a different taste. But just imagine for a moment that each of the 3 salads on your table is prepared with your garden variety grater. I can tell you that not only will it not look very appealing it will feel same old same old (boring) in the mouth.

If every mouthful feels the same then your experience is going to lose its appeal very quickly even if the salads are different.

Having different ways to prepare your veggies is a gift. Thankfully there are lots of very inexpensive gadgets that will help you be creative. Read on for some excellent ideas on how to create the perception of different salads just by varying the texture.

How to vary your salads and tempt your senses

Below youll find some lists of the different ingredients you can put in your salads. Run your eye over them, get inspired. At the very least, the lists may remind you of items that may have slipped out of your awareness. You will enjoy getting reacquainted with them or make some new friends. Then its up to you to decide if you will follow a salad recipe, make substitutions or make up your own. Youre here for some salad and dressing recipes. So I will assume you want to start with mine!
