Kitchen Duty! Juicing & Salads and Final CSA Share

After watching, "The Gerson Miracle",  it was time to hit the kitchen!  I haven't juiced for a while.  I seem to go through a period of non juicing every few months.  Last week my son did the juicing, which was a real treat!
First on the menu was carrot/celery/apple/ginger juice

ingredients....pls. note I did not use all of the celery shown

just a couple of large handfuls

pulp

I save my kombucha bottles to store my juice

This was the yield plus 18 oz

Next on the menu was Beet Salad

Next I made "Marinated Boy Choy"

By Matt Samuelson

~ recipe from ,"The Complete Book of Raw Food"

For the salad:

4 heads of baby bok choy or 1 large bok choy-chopped into 1/2" strips

1 large carrot, shaved into strips  (I left this out)

For the marinade:

1 small lemon, juiced

1 small lime juiced

(instead of the lemon & lime, I used 3 T. lemon juice)

4-5 dates pitted

3 T. ginger

1/2 c. olive oil

3 T. nama shoyu ( I used Bragg's Liquid Amino's)

Blend all marinade ingreds. together well.  Combine 1/2 the marinade  and carrots and mix well. Add more marinade as desired (I mixed all of mine in)

This is the second time I have made this salad and I like it better than I did the first time!

I love this Living Foods recipe book!  This edition has 375 recipes!  If  I could only get one raw food recipe book, I would get this one.

The final dish I made was a Raw Salsa

Variety of tomatoes

green and red bell peppers

red onion

jalapeno

cilantro

Himalayan salt

lemon juice

Pictured below was a previous batch ~I put tons of cilantro and peppers this time

After all that hard work I sat down and indulged!  I added some sliced radishes from my CSA share and topped my salads with raw sesame seeds..not pictured is a spoonful of my salsa on the side.
