Ingredient List for Yummy Raw Food Salad

• Spinach or other nutrient dense leafy green
• Red peppers, the more vibrant the color the better, a great source of vitamin C
• Apples, adds fiber
• Sprouts are a wonderful source of nutrition and enzymes.  You can also buy fresh sprouts at the store, if you don’t feel like sprouting your own
• Pumpkin seeds,  are helpful against parasites, although they are by no means a complete solution. I like to do a parasite cleanse at least 4x year, just to be safe.
• Dried Cranberries, be sure there is no added high fructose corn syrup
• Goji Berries, Asian superfood of the great Goji warrior
• Marinated artichoke hearts. I love to add these whenever I am at a salad bar.
• Hemp seeds, good source of protein, healthy fats and fiber.

Salad Dressing Ingredients

• Extra virgin olive oil, organic cold pressed
• Raw Apple cider vinegar
• Pure water
• Liquid aminos

I like to add fresh or dried herbs to my salad dressing.  There is a bulk herb section at the health food store. They have small bottles of a bunch of different single herbs and spices as well as combos.  I like to look and smell, then bring home a new one to try every now and then.  A great way to familiarize myself with some new flavors.
