The most delicious foods are the ones don't require much energy to prepare. I like to play in my kitchen converting traditional cooked meals into raw, however on those busy days, and sometimes weeks, I just enjoy my fruits and vegetables in their natural state or close to it. With a bit of chopping and seasoning these meals are my favourite and I find them the most tasty as well.
The bonus...lunch or diner in minutes! :)
Here are a few of my favourite meal items that I go to on busy days.
Italian Tomato Salad:
3 plum tomatoes, cut into chunky pieces
1/2 English cucumber cut in half and then sliced coarsely
1 small or half medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Sea salt to taste.
Toss together and enjoy.
Add a few slices of chilli pepper, deseeded, to give this salad a little kick!
Lettuce Boats
4 large Romaine lettuce leaves
1/2 Avocado, slices
Macadamia mayo (soaked macadamia nuts, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, white onion, Himalayan salt, blended until smooth and creamy using filtered water to thin as needed)
Plum tomatoes, sliced
Himalayan Salt
Place avocado, tomato slices, into the lettuce leaf. Season with a dash of salt, drizzle with macadamia nut mayo, roll lengthwise and enjoy.
Delish!
Zucchini pasta with Sundried Tomato Sauce
2 medium zucchini, spriralized or use your vegetable peeler to make fettuccini strips
2 plum tomatoes, remove skins by scoring the rounded end, and place into a pot of hot water. Allow to warm through then run a knife along the skin, peel, chop or place into a small blender such as a magic bullet and puree.
Finely slice or chop a couple of slices of sundried tomatoes and add to plum tomato sauce. Season with sea salt, fresh basil, olive oil and add to zucchini pasta.
Drizzle with olive oil.
Easy, peasy, lemon, squeeze!
Dessert:
Fruit, plain and simple, wash peel or maybe not, depends I guess on what you are having, and enjoy!
Keep it simple and keep rawk'n it out in your kitchen!
