Vegan Mexican Salad

[Guest guest]

First I want to say " hi " and thank you for inviting me to this most

informative group. I was a vegetarian, though not a very good one (I

ate Ramen Noodles, McDonald's French Fries, etc.), years ago and due

to having married a meat-and-potatoes man very young had gone back to

eating meat and other junk for a long time. Lo and behold, I have

gradually developed health problems over the last few years and

finally woke up to the error of my ways and instead of going on the

medications the doctors were trying to force on me, I switched to

Vegetarian and organic foods and manage to be Vegan most of the time

and I've been able to thumb my nose at my doctor because I am very

healthy now (and I've only been doing this for a few months!) without

the aid of pills, and I've never felt better in my life. Anyhow, not

much of a cook (so I don't know if this qualifies as a recipe, more

of a suggestion) and I try to eat raw foods every day and found that

salads can lose their appeal so I've started spicing them up with

Mexican ingredients:

Salad Base: Mixed greens with your choice of raw veggies

Add: I like Garlic Lovers Hummus; Desert Pepper Trading

Company Corn, Black Bean & Red Pepper Salsa; and occasionally I add

Jalepeno Peppers.

Experimenting is recommended! I like these salads so much I eat

them for breakfast, lol!

Hmmm, I wonder why newer veggies feel that their diet is enhanced by

excluding supplementation pills in the form of natural vitimins, minerals

and hormones.

 

I can understand nixing diet pills, junk vitimins, RX drugs, and medications

with terrible side effects, but anyone who believes our food supply has all

the nutrients and the right quantities we need will have a " sad " awakening

in 10-15 yrs when they discover that their " very healthy now " body suddenly

isn't.
