SALATA DE APRILIE / APRIL SALAD

In fiecare zi mananc salata, cat mai verde, cat mai multe frunze.
Pe aceasta am pozat-o pentru concursul Trofeul “Ceapa Verde” de pe blogul http://bucuriebunastarehrisca.blogspot.com/
Iata si reteta:

SALATA DE APRILIE

- 1 salata romana
- 1 salata creata rosie
- frunze gulii
- frunze de ridichi rosii
- 1 legatura loboda
- cateva fire de leurda
- 1 ridiche alba
- 1 praz
- cateva masline negre

Pentru dressing:
- ulei de masline
- otet de mere
- sos de soia
- sare (daca mai este nevoie)

Daca vreti un dressing mai consistent atunci dati un avocado prin mixer, cu zeama de lamaie, pana se face pasta si amestecati foarte bine cu salata. Frunzele devin moi si salata este mult mai consistenta.

* salatele pot fi de orice soi, de preferat cel putin 2 soiuri de salata
* se poate pune si spanac, dar eu folosesc spanacul la smoothie
* frunzele de gulii si frunzele de ridichi sunt gratis, doar sa le cereti taranilor in piata si va dau pentru ca nu multa lume stie ca ele se pot manca
* in loc de praz se poate pune ceapa verde, dar eu nu am avut
*ridichia poate fii de orice soi: alba, neagra sau rosie; daca e alba sau neagra de preferat e sa se marunteasca in mixer pentru ca sunt mai tari


Every day I eat a salad, as green as possible, as many leaves as possible.
Today I took a photo of my salad for the 'Green onion' contest on http://bucuriebunastarehrisca.blogspot.com/
Here is the recipe:

APRIL SALAD

- 1 head of Romaine lettuce
- 1 head of red incised-leaf lettuce
- kohlrabi leaves
- red radishes leaves
- red orach
- some wild garlic
- 1 daikon radish
- 1 leek
- some black olives

Dressing:
- olive oil
- apple vinegar
- soy sauce
- salt (if necessary)

If you want a more dense dressing, than blend an avocado with some lemon juice till creamy. Mix it well with the salad, the leaves will be softer and the salad will be more nourishing.

* the lettuce can be of any kind, preferably 2 types of lettuce
* you can also add spinach leaves, but I use them in smoothies
* instead of the leek you can use scallion (green onion)
* you can use any kind of radish: daikon, black or red radish; the daikon and the black radish are better cut in the food processor

Nice things

Ieri cautam diferite lucruri pe internet si am dat de aceasta pagina: http://www.zazzle.com
Au foarte multe lucruri dragute si am fost interesata sa vad ce au pe tema raw/vegan. Iata mai jos cateva lucruri pe care le-am gasit in cele 200 de pagini pe care le-am vazut.

Yesterday I was looking on the internet and I found this site: http://www.zazzle.com
They have many beautiful thinks and I looked for things they have on raw/vegan theme. This are some things I found, there are so many, I stopped looking after almost 200 pages.

CHIPS-URI GALBENE CU SUSAN / YELLOW SESAME CHIPS

Acestea sunt primele chips-uri pe care le fac la aparatul de deshidratat. L-am cumparat recent si abia acum descopar ce poate face.
Va dau ingredientele de la chips-urile galbene pentru ca au iesit mai bune decat cele rosii.

CHIPS-URI GALBENE CU SUSAN:
1 ardei gras Bianca
1 ardei kapia rosu
1 rosie
1 morcov mare
1 ceapa (mica sau medie)
1/2 cana mazare
1/2 cana porumb
1/2 cana susan
sare (se pot pune diferite condimente, dupa gust)

* ardeii se pot inlocui si cu ardei rosu sau galben
* morcovul l-am dat prin razatoare intai
* mazarea si porumbul erau din punga congelata, doar le-am dat printr-un jet de apa

Toate se dau prin blender sau prin tocatorul cu lama S. Se aseaza pe foaia de copt, in forma dorita si se pun la deshidratat. La mine au stat toata noaptea.

* Nu am un deshidrator puternic, ceea ce le face sa stea mai mult la deshidratat, si nu am decat buton pornit/oprit asa ca nu pot indica temperatura.


These are the first chips I make at my dehydrator. I bought it recently and now I discover what it can do.
I give you the ingredients for the yellow chips because they turned out better than the red ones.

YELLOW SESAME CHIPS:
1 Bianca green pepper
1 red capia pepper
1 tomato
1 carrot (big)
1 onion (small or medium)
1/2 cup green peas
1/2 cup corn
1/2 cup sesame seeds
salt (you can add any spices, to your taste)

* you can replace the peppers with bell pepper, any color
* I grated the carrot first
* the corn and the green peas were frozen, I just rinsed them quickly

Blend all the ingredients, or you can use the food processor.
Put them on the baking sheet (or teflex sheet) in the shape that you want and dehydrate them. Mine took all night.

* I don't have a powerful dehydrator that's why it may take longer, and I only have a on/off button so I can't indicate the temperature.
