Mixed Green Salad… great way to return to the land of the eaters

After a week without eating solid foods, you certainly want to maintain your system as clean as possible. We are encouraged to eat only fruits and salads after we finish our spiritual retreats.

This was the salad I made right after we came back to the “land of the eaters”… it was improvised by what was freshest at the market on New Year’s Day, but it turned out to be so delicious, that we prepared it exactly the same for a few days after because I got so enamored of the flavors.

This is my way to get you enamored with salads too… hope it works!!!!

MIXED GREEN SALAD

2 large handfuls of Baby Arugula

1 large handful of Baby Spinach

1 handful of Alfalfa sprouts

1 Tomato, sliced

¼ cup sliced Almonds

¼ cup dried Cranberries

Lemon Vinaigrette – Lime juice, Extra Virgin Olive oil, Salt and Pepper

1. Combine the first 6 ingredients in a large salad bowl. Squirt the juice of ½ a lemon, drizzle some olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss all the ingredients with your hands to combine well.
2. Eat immediately… as the lettuces will wilt if you let this salad sit for too long.
