Two weeks ago I kept a raw week diet in order to cleanse my body because I felt terribly guilty after eating a lot of crap (meat free though) in the mini-vacation at the seaside. It was a great week during which I filled my body with a bundle of vitamins and minerals, although it was a bit annoying that I didn’t have much time for cooking and all I ate was salads. This salad was made by my boyfriend/acolyte who I am desperately trying to convince that meat is bad! :)). Anyway, it was amazingly tasty and filling.

Ingredients
Ingredients:
• 2 small beets
• 2 medium onions
• 2 carrots ( unpeeled , all the vitamins are in the peel)
• 3 cucumbers (unpeeled)
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 1 tbs dry parsley
• a handful of fresh parsley
• a pinch of curry
• 1 tsp dry thyme
• 1 tsp dry oregano
• 1 tsp dry rosemary
• ½ tsp ground pepper
• 1 tbs fresh dill
• 3-4 fresh basil leaves ( or more if you want)
• 3-4 fresh sage leaves
• Half a lemon’s juice
• 3-4 tbs unrefined corn oil (this oil gives the salad an amazing aroma)
• ½ tsp salt
Directions
All dry herbs are optional, it is a lot better with them but if you miss an ingredient itâs no biggie :). Also if you have them fresh itâs a lot better.
Rinse all the fresh ingredients. Peel the beets and onions. Grate all the vegetables except the tomatoes. Chop the tomatoes in any size you wish ( I personally donât like them chopped too small, I sliced them). Add all the other ingredients and blend together. Itâs delicious! You can almost feel how your body is filled with vitamins :)
