A big winter staple for us is what we call “winter salad”; When you eat it you can feel it charging up your body with sun energy.
Winter Salad
Mix in approximately equal parts:
Grated carrots
thinly sliced cabbage
thinly sliced kale leaves.
(optional but great is toasted sesame and sunflower seeds)
We dress it with Lemon Tahini Dressing; here is a recipe our friend Heather came up with and Emilly adapted to approximate Annies Goddess Dressing. We eat this on winter salad but also on rice and steamed vegetables, or raw vegetables, or other vegetable dishes.
Lemon Tahini Dressing
Mix together (in a blender if you want, but we just mix it in a jar)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup oil (mix of olive and sesame is great)
1/2 cup tahini
2 T apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup tamari
1 T minced onion
1 garlic clove minced
1/4 cup water.
