Raw Green Salad & Cashew Parsley Dressing

We can never have enough of fresh green salads! This one is a good example of how we can prepare a simple and quick raw meal. You just have to adjust the quantity according to how much hungry you are.

Green leaves seem to be great for us, based on our experience, especially to balance dense and dehydrated foods. However, we also notice that the hard ones are less digestible and, of course, more difficult to eat. So, if we buy thick leaves, such as cabbage, we use them in smoothies or we press them before we use in salads. Pressing is a simple technique that helps the fiber to break and, consequently, makes the vegetables more tender. Check out our raw pressed salad for another good example of it.

Also, we found out that a meal of greens and vegetables may require some sort of healthy fat. So, when we eat a salad, we may add a dressing made of seeds, nuts, olives or avocados.

Here you have the recipe; have fun!
