I've been eating more raw food lately, and I loooove it. Granted, I've been a super salad fan for some time now, so I fail miserably at convincing people that vegans don't just eat salad. I mean, I don't eat *only* salad, but I do eat a lot of it. Because salad is yummy, and it makes me feel so good when I eat it, and it's crunchy and colourful! Now, I've said it before: if the only option is a sad iceberg lettuce, then the prospect of a giant salad is indeed rather underwhelming. But there's no reason it has to come to that, is there? Repeat after me: There is no excuse for boring salad. EVER. Also, I love saffron (just for the record). This vaguely middle-eastern and not-vaguely yummy. So satisfying. So tastey and simple. And yeah. Just.. yeah.
Bottom layer:
sprouted quinoa
chopped dates
chopped green olives
chopped rocket (arugula for those of you on the other side of the pond)
Salad layer:
chopped tomatoes
shredded purple cabbage
veeeeery thinly sliced carrots
the salad is marinated in
crushed fennel, saffron, a drop of lime oil, salt and pepper, all dissolved in apple cider vinegar.
music: mirah. yay!

I also fail at convincing people that vegans don't just eat salad since I love salads so much. Or people think I'm on a diet when they see me eating salads.
Yup. Though they usually guess rather quickly that I'm not on a diet when they see the size of my salad.
I know that I've ranted about it before, but it's completely tragic how salads are so hideously mistreated by most people. Salads are wonderful if you just put a tiny amount of care into making them.
