Salad Base Ingredients:

Finely chop Kale, Brussel Sprouts, Green and Purple leaf lettuce. The finer we chop the less chewing we have to do. Remember, chewing your food completely creates beneficial enzymes starting in your mouth that assist the process of digestion. If you are super hungry and don’t think you can take the time to chew, chew, chew, drink a green juice before eating your salad so you can really savour and enjoy the chewing process.

Cashew Cheese:

Soak Cashews over night (8-10hrs) to release enzymes and support easier digestion and a creamy texture for the cheese. In a food processor blend Cashews, Hemp Seeds, Chives, Garlic, Nutritional Yeast, Himalayan Pink Salt, and Filtered Water to taste. Should be a creamy thick texture. Dry and shape with Cheese Cloth.

Apple Cider Dressing:

Apple Cider Vinegar, Cold Pressed Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Garlic, Mustard Powder, Himalayan Pink Salt, Filtered Water. Can put in a Vitamix or food processor to blend.
