SALADS

Salads are light and astringent & therefore  reducing in nature and should be only eaten in moderation by Vata.  They are excellent for cooling down Pitta, and for lightening up the Kapha nature as long  as they are spiced well .

Chose fresh organic produce whenever possible

  1. Chose a variety of mustard greens kales, bok choy, arugula etc
  2. Rinse well and pat dry
  3. Chop semi-fine
  4. Choose fresh herbs available – chives, basil, oregano, dill, thyme, fennel, coriander, parsley etc and chop finely
  5. Toss together with cherry tomatoes and walnuts ( either soaked, toasted or raw)  or pumpkin and sunflower seeds
  6. Add a dressing of your choice, or sprinkle with flax seed oil, salt and pepper, nutritional yeast , braggs, apple cider vinegar etc
  7. Enjoy
