Oh my goodness, YUMMY! ... Fruits instead of salad dressings!!!

July 13, 2007

Hi Belinda,

I'm so very happy for you. I have shared similar experiences, and I now MUCH

prefer the cut-up fruits over the salad dressings.

As you return to chewing, that tired feeling will abate at least somewhat.

As with any other muscle group, you can't go from " no " to " pro " overnight!

Best,

Elchanan

[Raw Food] Oh my goodness, YUMMY!

Well I decided to try a salad with some fruit on it instead of some kind of

dressing. I baught a bag of various lettuces with some shredded carrots in

it. I put on some pumpkin seeds (that I am not real fond of, but don't want

to waste them) and then topped it off with some very ripe, juicy peaches, a

few sliced strawberries and some blue berries.

I wasn't expecting much as far as taste goes,(I figured it was just going to

taste like the smoothies that I make) but it looked real pretty and so

colorful. Anyway, it was delicious! The sweet juicy fruits chewed up with

the lettuce was such a suprising delight. Even the pumpkin seeds chewed in

with it was quite a unique and suprising taste. The more I chewed

everything, the better it tasted. The flavors mixed so well.

I see what El keeps saying about chewing your foods and not pre blending

them. Even though I drink smoothies, which are pretty much the same thing,

(minus the pumpkin seeds and carrots) all blended in the blender. It still

tasted very different seperated out like this.

All that chewing made my jaws tired and achey (I have some TMJ issues as

well as dull back teeth from caps that were put on them) but it was so worth

it.

As long as I can get my hands on sweet juicy fruits, who needs dressing?

I can't believe the restaraunts have not picked up on this to serve to

customers.

Belinda (who can't wait to eat this again)
