Vegeterian Tips: Reduce your refined sugar intake. I ve got as much of a sweet tooth as anybody, but I try to keep it under control by using such sugar replacers as maple syrup, stevia and agave whenever possible such as in coffee and tea and indulging in the refined stuff only occasionally.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 2 persimmons
- 1 bosc pear and/or 1 gala apple
- 1 mango
- 1 pomegranate (just the seeds)
- 1/2 avocado (optional)
- 1/4 cup of raisins and/or cranberries
- 1/4 cup of crushed walnuts or pecans
- 2 heaping tablespoons of wheat germ (optional)
- 1 pound (16 ounces) of MESCULIN SALAD mix (I buy the premade in the bag)
- 1 lemon (for dressing & preservation)
Directions:
Chop all fruit into thin, bite size
pieces and toss it into the mesculin
mix. Add the raisins, cranberries, and
pomegranate seeds. Sprinkle with wheat
germ and crushed walnuts (or pecans).
For dressing I just squeeze some fresh
lemon juice on it. The lemon juice will
also help leftovers last in the fridge
for a couple days.
A NOTE ABOUT THE FRUIT: Persimmon”s are
really easy to cut since they have no
pit (just cut the stem off), and keep
in mind that they are ripe when really
soft – like an avocado. I usually buy
presliced mango, but if you buy a fresh
one, make sure to peal the skin off. I
also buy just the seeds of pomegranates
since it can be kind of a pain taking
out the seeds yourself. As for the pear
and apple, I buy organic and choose to
keep the skin on for some extra fiber,
but of course I cut the seeds and stem
out.
There is really no right or wrong way
to make this fruit salad. Make any
substitutions necessary to fit your
particular taste, such as papaya or
kiwi! This just happens to be my
favorite combination.
Enjoy!
