Dear Diana,

In Praise of the Blended Salad

 

by Chet Day

 

What looks ugly as sin but feels great in your stomach?

 

A blended salad.

 

It's sad, but most Americans don't like salads. And by

salad I don't mean a handful of iceburg lettuce with a

slice of sorry hothouse tomato on top.

 

I mean a tub of dark, leafy green lettuces and celery and

cauliflower and carrots and everything else that graces

the produce aisle in the grocery store.

 

If the idea of eating all that " rabbit food " makes you

want to puke, then try a blended salad, the answer for

non-salad people who still know they need to eat veggies

to be healthy.

 

How do you make a blended salad?

 

Simple. Let me walk you through my basic recipe: in my

blender, I drop in a tomato which I have either quartered

or whacked into eighths, depending on the size. On top of

the tomato pieces, I drop in one small quartered baby

cucumber (usually about the size of two thumbs in

length). I hit the grind button and turn these two

ingredients into mush. Add one half to one whole avocado,

and, yes, you peel it first. Squeeze in the juice of one

half lemon.

 

Now it's time for a teaspoon of dulse. Then I add half of

a bell pepper (green or red). Next come five to eight

leaves of Romaine or other green-leaf lettuce. Pack all

this stuff loosely into the blender. Toss in any other

veggies (dice 'em a bit first) that you like.

 

Now pull off three or four good-sized celery stalks and

turn on the blender and use the celery stalks to push the

other ingredients into the blades.

 

The whole deal will eventually wind up as a liquified

mass that doesn't look very appetizing.

 

My wife and kids run around the kitchen yelling, " Yuck,

you're going to eat THAT? " just about every night. I give

them my most superior smile and nod sagely. Little do

they know what they're missing.

 

So don't throw your blended salad away because it looks

like baby poop!

 

Instead, pour it into your finest crystal bowl, pull out

one of your best spoons from the silver cabinet, and then

sit in a quiet environment and enjoy a remarkably healthy

and tasty treat. Not only will you enjoy the taste

(experiment with ingredients until you find combinations

that make your tastebuds yell " Wow! " ) but you'll also

assimilate more vitamins, minerals, and other goodies

than you would have had you chewed the ingredients

separately.
