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!

Centro Boulder = YUMMY!!!

Today my husband and I took a drive in the beautiful Rocky Mountains and ended up shopping along Pearl Street in Boulder.  We were hungry and decided to eat at Centro.  I highly recommend this place!!!  Be sure to get the Avocado Salsa with Crab and the Sopa Azteca!  We will definitely visit this restaurant again!!!

Centro Latin Kitchen in Boulder

The Avocado Salsa recipe would be something like this...

Fresh Avocados, large chunks
Pico de Gallo, fresh
Lime juice
Olive Oil
Cilantro and possibly some fresh basil
S&P to taste
Fresh Crab on top

It's a wonderful chunky salsa that is served with Tortilla Chips with Lime and Salt.
