chop chop salad dressing
Mimi Kirk has done it again! Just when I thought I’d become ‘disenchanted’ with raw foods (i.e., lazy), I found a yummy salad dressing in Mimi’s wonderful book Live Raw.
It went down like this…
I spent a lot of time in the kitchen yesterday preparing vegetarian lasagna – my partner was having a colleague over for dinner and while he is vegetarian I was reluctant to prepare something raw, plus the bf is not a huge fan of raw foods. I also made butternut squash bisque to start, and figured I’d just have that for dinner as well.
Then at the last minute, I realized I needed a salad to go with the lasagna. Boring. I know I’ve mentioned it a lot, but I don’t really like salads. In a last ditch effort to find inspiration for the salad (the lasagna is so good it deserves an equally good side), I had a quick flick through all my raw books for an interesting dressing. Honestly, I was trying to stay away from Mimi’s book for a while as I talk about her a lot – that’s what happens when you have a girl crush though I suppose :) – but it wasn’t until I saw her recipe for Chop Chop Salad that I could bring myself to start preparing anything.
I liked it because I felt it wouldn’t matter if I didn’t have all the salad ingredients she suggested, and that I could use the random ingredients I had at my disposal without affecting the final outcome. It also didn’t require any fancy things that required a trip to the store – win, win!! Everyone loved it – the dressing was light but filling, and tasty without being overbearing. I drowned my salad in it and it made what I usually think to be boring salad ingredients interesting.
I haven’t posted the recipe as I really think a. I should ask for permission first, and b. you should just buy her book!
Happy salad munching people.

Try her Brussel Sprouts raw salad, really easy to make and delish!
Have to say I’m not a lover of brussel sprouts, but if anyone could make them tasty (especially raw), it would be Mimi! Thanks for the suggestion :)
