Raw Brocoli and Avocado Salad (Vegan & Raw)

This makes a really great lunch especially if you make it in the morning and let the flavors meld together

Ingredients

2 cups of Organic Broccoli slaw

1/2 an Avocado - Cubed

1 small Tomato - Seeded and Cubed

1/2 Tablespoon of Garlic - chopped

1/2 Tablespoon of Olive Oil

1/2 of one Lemon - juiced

2 Tablespoons of Hemp Hearts

1 Tablespoon of raw chopped almonds

Sea Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

Toss all ingredients together....simple as that

Notes

You can also (and I have in the past) save the stalks from fresh broccoli and cut them into match stick sized pieces, but since I discovered Organic Broccoli slaw I save so much time

Sesame Seaweed Salad

This is one of my all time favorites.  It's super filling which is great for dieting and seaweed is a power food.  Wakame seaweed is packed with iron and contains 10 times the amount of calcium than a glass of milk.

Ingredients

3/4 ounce dried wakame seaweed

3 Tbsp. Rice Wine vinegar

1 Tbsp. Sesame Oil

1 Tbsp. Coconut Aminos (soy sauce/tamari)

1 tsp. agave nectar (raw sugar)

1/2 Tbsp Chili Oil

Hot Pepper Flakes

Directions

Soak the seaweed in a bowl of warm water for seven to 10 minutes.  Drain in a colander and pat dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner if you have one (there is one available to guests at Chateau Mooseknuckle)

Cut seaweed into think noodle-like strips

In a small bowl combine the rice wine vinegar, Coconut amines and agave nectar and whisk.  If you are using sugar, whisk until it is well dissolved. 

Continue whisking and slowly add the sesame and chili oil

Add the seaweed to the bowl and toss well.

Add the sesame seeds and chili flakes and toss again

Serve immediately
