The most amazing salad of my life.

Greetings!
I am totally posting this on the sly because i’m MEANT to be studying, however the allure of the internet gets me every time.
And I HAD to tell you about the ridiculously fabulous salad I just ate. It was a beautiful thing. I shed a tear whilst licking the last sliver of tasty tasty dressing from my plate.
The salad, nekkid.
Needed some dressing of the Choosing Raw variety. Was not aware this tomato & tahini sauce would change my life forever. So delicious, make it now!
Decided to experiment with some sea delights – used dried Arame (which you should be able to find at the health food store) and soaked it in a little water for about 20 minutes. Has a very subtle flavour which I think paired nicely with the asian undertones of the dressing, which contains a hint of tamari.
Perched atop the magnificent pile were some small cubes of sweet potato & parsnip that I’d roasted at about 200 for…ever. Our oven is senile, and sometimes forgets to omit heat, making baking a thrilling exercise in chance.
The finished product, which was greater than the sum of it’s parts.
If you’re interested, the salad contained:
thinly sliced kale
baby spinach
diced red capsicum
shaved carrot
cherry tomatoes
mixed sprouts
baked parsnip & sweet potato
arame
life-changing dressing
Please sir, can I have some more?
Ok folks really must dash but catch you reeeeeal soon!
Ooh man it looks so delicious!! It’s perfect for me I am a total salad-holic haha
Can I ask you something? Why so many of the charts for the veggies of each season are different? I don’t know which one to follow! Does it have to do with different countries?
Yes indeed, this one’s a winner! It’s all about the delicious dressing + roasted veg. Re. seasonal charts, i’m no expert but I would guess that the differences you are seeing would probably be due to the individual conditions of each country – anyone else out there know? Are you in Australia? Here is another explanation + chart I found that seems really good
No I am in Greece. Yes, individual conditions must be the reason. I was really confused cause it was the first time I read such charts After your post and a few others I figured it was time to start eating seasonally
