About

Replace your everyday salad with this one once in a while! Chew well and take your time savoring all the flavours. This one does not keep long after it is dressed!

Buying locally, seasonally, organically, from food Co-ops, farmers and bulk stores are better choices for you and the environment where possible.

Helpful Hints

In place of the apple cider vinegar you could try 2 Tbsp lemon juice or 1 Tbsp umeboshi vinegar. Be careful with umeboshi vinegar as it is quite salty.
If you prefer to use fresh organic basil (such as home grown), use about a handful. Chop into pieces.
If you are salt sensitive or if you are using the sesame gomasio option, you may wish to reduce the salt in this recipe. Click here for a Wiki-How to make your own gomasio.
For a fully raw food recipe use the unpasteurized honey and cold pressed (untoasted) sesame oil options.
