Essential Salad

This post is not as much about the recipe,as it is presentation. With the mindset that preparing food is an art, I use the bowl, plate, etc. as my pallet.Combining color as well as texture, is not only pleasing to the eye, it is pleasing to the taste buds!

In this salad, I layered, Spring mix and Romaine. Topped with Chopped Fuji apple, Chick peas, Pecans (unsalted),Grapes, Blue Cheese, and Sunflower seeds. I topped with a light Balsamic dressing.

I have recently begun eating as a  Nutritarian (click the link to see what that is)- so that is why I named this the Essential Salad, as it includes many of the elements of eating to live.(minus the cheese) I am still in transition, and I do throw a little cheese in here and there.

Ground Turkey and Much Veg Chili.

Saute ground turkey, season with pepper, garlic and chilli powder. In a crock pot, put in one large bottle of V8, one container of salsa, one can of black beans, and one can of Kidney beans, 8oz water. Cook in the crock pot for several hours until simmering, top with cilantro, cheese,Sirachi, and Greek Yogurt.
