I just wanted to simply say that everytime I take a salad to get togethers I always get compliments on how wonderful they are. It is so easy to make interesting and good salads. It just kinda of cracks me up.

Good salads are a gift from God. I have been to far too many church suppers where the only part of the "salad" that was green was the Jello.

i agree a good salad is wonderfully delicious.

tonight i had my favourite salad in a restaurant.

lots of greens (they go heavy on them for me)
dried cranberries
dates
cashews
tomatoes and cucumbers on the side

sooooooooo delish.

i really love salads with chopped up apples in them as well.

Hard to beat a fresh salad with a light, home-made dressing. It is always well received and people don't even realize there is nothing cooked in it. :p

I think part of the reason that happens is that a raw foodist can taste the foods better and develops a much better feel for what ingredients go together and compliment each other. The dead food eater dosn't have "alive" taste buds and can't discern the subtle differences until the live foods are put together correctly and then they recognize the harmony in the dish.

Also, a lot of people never tasted fresh greens from the farmers market or the garden, so in their imagination salad is something with barely green watery leaves and pink tomatoes, that don't really taste like tomatoes at all. No wonder they cringe hearing about eating raw foods.

Would you care to share some of your recipes? I LOVE salad too. I eat it twice a day but I'm starting to get sick of mine and would love to try something new.
