{Recipe} Reboot Salad

This salad is bursting with flavor in every little bite. It's heart healthy-chopped salad perfection.

I found it in The Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook.  It's oil free and plant based. The dressing is a delicious combination of raisins and lemon juice, which give it a sweet and tart kick.

Ingredients:

3 cups broccoli, chopped into pea size pieces

3  cups cauliflower, chopped into pea  size  pieces

1 cup carrots, shredded  and chopped into tiny pieces

3 stalks celery, minced fine

1 1/2 cups parsley, minced fine*I used 2 TBS dried parsley

1 1/2 cups  raisins (I used golden)

3/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Freshly ground black pepper

salt(optional)

2 TBS toasted sesame seeds

To make:

• In a salad bowl, combine broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery and parsley.
• Place raisins in a small bowl and add 1 1/2 cups hot water.  After  5 minutes of soaking, drain the water off of the raisins and reserve it.
• In a food processor or high speed blender, combine raisins, lemon juice and 1 cup of the reserved raisin soaking water, and blend until smooth. Add salt  and pepper to taste.
• Pour the raisin-lemon dressing over the vegetables and toss well. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top.
• Can be served immediately but I liked it better after chilling in the fridge for a few hours  when the flavors had time to meld together.

It's so fresh and tasty!

Keeps in the fridge for up to a week.
