Sometimes you open the fridge and it seems like there’s just nothing in there. Or so we thought. When you think of a salad, the typical style is some green lettuce, some other veggie chopped on top and some sort of dressing right?
Well, necessity is the mother of invention and invent is what Bam does best. We were out of the official variety of salad and Bam saw zucchini, sunflower seeds that had been slightly sprouted along with avocado and herbs from the garden. Oh.. and of course, fresh sprouts!
So… the salad du jour was created. The base was sprouts and sprouted sunflower seeds. The dressing was zucchini hummus and topped with some soaked hazelnuts. Add the chopped tomato and herbs, surround with avocado and you’ve got yourself a new generation salad.
The point I’m trying to make is think outside the box when you think about making a salad. In fact, think WAY outside the box! Think textures and what you can combine or blend up to make smooth and creamy mixed with crunchy foods from your fridge. Use produce in ways you’ve never tried before. Raw foods have introduced more interesting and amazing tastes in to my life than the old fashioned cooked foods ever did. It can be the most adventurous way to eat if you let it.
So go on. Feel free to leave comments about what you’ve invented, created or been forced to make due to the fact it was all you had left in the house!
