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!

No time for breakfast?  This recipe will definitely change that attitude!  If you've got 5 minutes and a microwave this is for you!

**If you make your own milk, be sure you strain the nut meat for this recipe, otherwise, you will have a thick porridge like consistency.
