Fresh, organic, raw veggies (and fruits) are the best way to get vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals in your diet. I will admit, over the cold winter months, I do not eat a lot of raw veggies. They just don't sound good most of the time. But now that spring and summer are fast-approaching, it's time to break out the salad spinner!This big zesty salad consists of watercress, spinach ribbons, carrot, parsley and sundried tomato, all seperated out so as to look extra pretty.
Over the weekend, I did a little shopping (like I do EVERY weekend) and came across this Spectrum Organic omega-3 Vegan Ceasar. At first I was a little worried about how it would taste (flax oil, the main ingredient, is known to be a little hard to swallow) but it is fantastic! Previously, I favored Annie's Goddess Dressing, (which, truth-be-told is a little high in salt and fat) but this new omega dressing gives the same hearty rich tangy-salty flavor along with that all-imoprtant nutrient we all need. 
A tropical fruit salad: yellow mango (so smooth, creamy and tart!), star fruit and organic strawberries.

The spinach ribbons are a testament to texture being so important to a meal. Ribbons rock!
