Holy Moly – this salad was so tasty for dinner this evening. Must admit that I’ve been naughty lately and eating a bit too much acidifying food like bread and coffee, so tonight I treated myself to an alkalizing, beautifying salad that was such a delight to eat!
Here’s the delicious recipe…
Black Velvet Salad
Dressing:
1 1/2 tsp Unpasteurized Red Miso Paste
1 1/2 tsp Raw Organic Almond Butter
1 to 2 Tbsp (or to taste) of Raw Organic Yacon Syrup
2 Tbsp Fresh Squeezed Organic Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp Organic Cold-Pressed EVOO
extra 2 Tbsp of Yacon Syrup
Combine the ingredients thoroughly with a fork or whisk. Add a little Celtic Sea Salt or extra Yacon syrup if you desire a dressing that is more salty or sweet. I found that this recipe works well because you are going to drizzle the finished salad with pure Yacon syrup.
For the salad:
Baby Arugula, Spinach, Mixed Greens or other greens suitable for a salad
2 – 3 Tbsp Raw Organic Hulled Hempseeds
Pile the greens on a dinner place and sprinkle with the hempseeds. If you’re serving the salad as a side dish this recipe makes enough for 2 or 3 people. Drizzle the greens with the dressing, then drizzle (try a pretty lattice design) with the extra Yacon Syrup.
This is a delicious and nutritious raw salad. Would also be amazing with grilled lean meat, other nuts, a mix of herbs, avocado, olives, dulse, or anything else you can think of. The Yacon syrup is like a balsamic reduction, and it’s sweetness is very nice with the peppery arugula. So elegant – this salad will really impress your guests or a date 
ENJOY!
