More Fun in the Kitchen

Napa Cabbage -
who would have thought?

In my quest to increase leafy greens in my diet, I picked up a head of Napa Cabbage. OK - it's a bit pale but it's good for variety.
Here is what I did with it:
(I don't want to forget, that is why I'm posting it:) )

I cut (most) of it into 3/4" strips,

chopped a couple of stalks of celery and a bunch of green onions into tiny pieces
added a good handful of sunflower seeds

mixed it, then:
created a dressing of  extra virgin olive oil and Rice vinegar.
Mixed it well - then let it sit in the fridge for a while.

Delicious: the seeds and the celery add a bit of crunch to it. The rice vinegar (no sugar/salt) - is mild and pleasant.

The remaining piece of cabbage gets chopped and will be added to a soup to keep that interesting:)

Spinach Salad

Simple, fresh and wonderful:

4- 6 cups of fresh Baby Spinach
several  sliced radishes
a handful of raw sunflower seeds
a handful of raw pumpkin seeds
a good dose of Lemon Tahini Dressing

The combination of the seeds and the radishes provides a wonderful crunch.

Seeds And More

I found the ultimate snack at the Yoga Conference last week. Raw crackers from Live.
Whereas I would not want to go on a Raw Food Diet, I am more than willing to experiment with raw recipes, and sample good raw food.
I appreciate the amount of labour that goes into it, therefore I won't even comment on how pricey it its...
This is a lovely cracker, full of flavour thanks to the wonderful spices, lots of good nutrients both from the sunflower seeds and the Dulse.
