Ummm...have you ever seen a zucchini so large?


❤ Zucchorny Salad! ❤

* I n g r e d i e n t s *
---all quantities are up to you!---
— Zucchinis / Courgettes
— Raw Corn on the Cob (yes, totally raw, NOT even so much as lightly steamed...although if you need to steam them, we won't tell anyone...)
— Cherry Tomatoes
— Beefsteak Tomatoes
— Leeks
— Fresh Dill
— 1 Lime
— 1 Avocado


* P r e p a r a t i o n *
— 1) Using your food processor's shredder blade, make zucchini (aka courgette) "noodles." The Cuisinart I use: http://bit.ly/y7RO7

— 2) Slice corn off of the cobs, and mix together with the cherry tomatoes & the zucchini noodles you just made in a large serving bowl.

— 3) For the dressing, roughly chop the beefsteak tomatoes as well as the leeks, and toss them along with the fresh dill into your Vita-Mix, or other high-powered blender of your choice. The Vitamix I use: hhttp://bit.ly/X81Uu (If desired, you can toss some of the chopped leeks directly into your salad)

— 4) Use a manual citrus juicer or a citrus hand juicer to squeeze the juice of the lime over everything in the Vitamix. You can find manual citrus juicers here: http://bit.ly/4isIOU

— 5) Roughly chop the avocado into the Vitamix as well, and blend until desired consistency is reached.

— 6) Drizzle salad dressing over salad or serve on the side, and enjoy!


* I n s p i r a t i o n *
— When you add ingredients to your Vitamix or blender, think of adding the moister, juicier ingredients towards the bottom...this will allow your blender to blend everything more smoothly, and much more easily! For example, I always put my tomatoes in the bottom...and I never put avocados in first!

— I don't eat a lot of onions, leeks & garlic, etc., as I've been becoming more and more sensitive to them, the more fruitarian I eat...i.e., the more fruit I eat. I'm getting more sensitive to foods in general, and my consciousness says that these foods will one day not be part of my diet at all...that I'll be focusing more on foods like cucumbers, watermelons, soft & tender leafy greens, etc. Just really simple, clean eating! With low metabolic wastes...

— Foods like onions and garlic have 'plant protectants' in them, so it takes more energy & work for your body to process them. You have to continually use alkaline minerals to neutralize the stimulating properties of these foods. These foods are classified as "rajasic" in the Hindu system of traditional medicine called Ayurveda, which includes foods that are bitter, sour, salty, pungent, hot and/or dry, and are thought by some to promote sensuality, greed, jealousy, anger and delusion. Yeah, I think I'm pretty much over those feelings, but I definitely will admit they were a big part of my life in the past (as many of you know, I had a rough childhood and a rocky, unstable time well into & throughout my 20's.)

— Today, I'm leaning more towards a 'sattvic' way of eating, which in Ayurveda refers to foods that are fresh, juicy, light, nourishing & tasty, and thus give necessary energy to the body and help achieve balance. Does that sound good to you too? ;)

— The winter is fast approaching and we will be hitting the road as soon as we can't stand how cold it has become. We do find it is nice right now to just be able to 'chill' and work on building up this YouTube channel as well as our website (which someday we will release, and only God knows when!) without any distractions from the road.

— That being said, once we do get out of here we will be coming to a town near you! Well, on the west coast first at least! Let us know if you are located anywhere from Washington State down to Southern California and over to Arizona (but not too far from the main roads), and would like to see us swing by! Before inviting us anywhere, please DO keep keep in mind our RV is 40-feet long, alright?? ;-)

— Also, once we hit the road, prepare to see this channel turn into something along the lines of a raw vegan adventure channel, with an educational twist & a focus on love...camping, hiking, hot springing, etc....so who knows what adventures the road will bring us! We will try to throw up more videos on the road, but will just leave Krista's notes out on the adventure-type ones so we can get more of them up quickly for you to enjoy! So...what do you guys think? We would love to hear your thoughts & ideas! ;)
