Nutty Tabouli & Raspberries

Here's my version of a fresh parley salad...

Nutty Tabouli with Raspberries

Salad:

• 1 large bunch parsley
• 1/2 small bunch cilantro 
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 1/2 cup hemp seeds
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1/4 cup yellow onion, small dice
• 1 cup fresh raspberries

Dressing:

• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/3 cup walnut oil
• 2 T olive oil
• 1/4 t sea salt
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• splash of maple syrup
• salt and white pepper, to taste

Make the salad:  Chop the parley and cilantro.  Add tomatoes, hemp seeds, walnuts and onions.  Mix thoroughly.

In a small (1-cup) food processor or blender, combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth.  Pour over the salad, toss gently to mix well.  Serve salad with raspberries on top.

I will be serving this with a raw tomato basil soup and mint iced green tea.

Dessert:  Healthy Truffles!  Also a raw dish!

Gingerbread Spiced Pancakes - adapted from Sunday's posting...

Today I adapted the Honey Spiced Almond Pancakes and added molasses and hemp seeds.  Also, had to wing it a bit.  Only had 1 T of maple syrup but mixed it with raw honey and about a dime's worth of molasses.  TASTY!!!

You could make these up ahead of time and freeze them.  Pop each in the toaster for a quick and easy breakfast.  Be sure to use whole wheat pastry flour and not the regular whole wheat flour.  I find it makes fluffier pancakes.  Next I'm testing a gluten free using either coconut flour or almond flour.
