Romanesco Salad
(RAW or a steam....)

This was inspired by a thought of a pasta salad or a couscous salad but we didn't want to cook with the grains. So you can use your Romanesco cauliflower as the main ingredient!

Begin by pulling off the small florets from the cauliflower.  Either lightly steam or prepare RAW.  ( a simple quick boil for this dish or GREAT RAW!! )

add 20 or so Sliced kalamata olives

Small amount of chopped capers (1 tablespoon per 4 cups florets ...)

Chopped onion: Green onions, red onions, shallots, whatever you've got.

S & P to taste, Lemon juice, freshly squeezed,
Olive oil:  use a light hand

Fresh herb: I use basil, parsley, cilantro... Chopped. 
You can top your salad with toasted sunflower seeds or another nut might also be delicious.   Enjoy!

This quick and easy raw, vegan, gluten-free berry cobbler recipe is a truly healthy treat that still satisfies our desire for something sweet.

Ingredients: 

4-5 cups mixed berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries (usually a pint of strawberries with a ½ pint each of the others)

1 tablespoon agave nectar (vegan) or raw honey (non-vegan) or maple syrup (not a raw sweetener but delicious!)

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup dried unsweetened shredded coconut

½ cup walnut pieces

½ cup pecan pieces

4 large medjool dates, pitted and chopped
¼ teaspoon of almond extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon powder

Pinch of grated nutmeg

Pinch of sea salt

Preparation:   Gently wash the berries and drain well. Cut the stems from the strawberries and slice into wedges. Toss the berries with the agave and vanilla extract. Divide them amongst 4 dessert glasses and set aside.

Place the remaining ingredients -coconut, walnuts, pecans, dates, almond extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt- in a food processor and pulse the mixture until it is coarsely ground but still has texture. Divide the mixture between the 4 berry dishes, scattering evenly over the top to form a "crust". Enjoy!!
