Day 17

We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning - but it's almost spring!  Perhaps this will be the last kick of Old Man Winter, or, at least, I can dream of that.

We are expecting friends from Dartmouth to visit with us for the weekend, so I'll need to pick some meals that won't scare them off.  A Raw Food Diet is not something that people want forced upon them.  Although our friends have sampled many foods here, I still need to tread lightly, I think.

So here's my creation for supper.  It is similar to Boston Pizza's Santa Fe Salad.

I don't think it looks too scary.  Here's what's in it:

Black Beans (not raw)

Frozen organic Corn 

Cut up Tomato

Cut up Peppers

Cut up Green Onion

Shredded Romaine Lettuce tossed with Vinaigrette

Guacamole

Vinaigrette

Lemon Juice

Olive Oil

Maple Syrup

Tamari

Herbamare

Guacamole

2 Avocados

Juice of 1 Lime

Dash of Garlic Powder

Sea Salt

Dash of Cayenne

You can serve this with Organic Corn Chips.

I have to say that this salad went over very well.  People were looking for seconds and there was not a scrap left - just a tablespoon of beans.  Do you suppose that they were afraid of the after effects?  This recipe is a keeper.
