Salads

Am I salad? What a silly question, isn’t it? Of course, you’re not salad, even if the perfume you wear makes you smell good enough to eat. Like everyone else, you are flesh and blood, not the usual ingredients of a salad.

We think of salad as something that’s good for us because it (usually) contains fresh, uncooked vegetables. What’s better than that for keeping us trim, energetic, with low cholesterol, sensitive in our relationships, super nice and totally desirable?

So if you can start to think, “Yes I am salad!” you are not out of the frying pan into the fire, but rocketing into a better word where you shine as bright and cheerfully as the sun, thanks to Salads.

After all, the vegetable base of a salad thrives on sunlight, so think of Salads as sunshine that you make for yourself; and for your friends, of course, if you want their praise, or simply want to improve the relationship with something sexy.

Is salad sexy? Of course it is! The colours, the textures, the blend, the poignancy; all the ingredients of love are represented in a salad, Enjoy a salad of your own making with a casual acquaintance, and the relationship could develop into romance, if you want.

It’s nothing to do with the ingredients (although some fruits and vegetables are supposed to have aphrodisiac properties). It’s all to do with the care you show in preparing food, looking after your body, honing yourself into shape, taking care of others, in being nice. That’s when things start to click, all thanks to salad.

Am I salad? If you want to recapture the salad days of rapturous youth, then try recipes for Salads and you’ll soon be happy to tell everyone you’re a salad nut, and they will be thrilled to hear it.

Is it easy to make a salad? Yes!

Can you imagine someone saying they haven’t got time to make a salad?

If that’s you and you have no time to bring the sunshine of salad into your life, then you need a change of lifestyle. Adjust your priorities. Start in the kitchen with a simple recipe. You can keep within a slender budget to make yourself slender, and your friends will grow wild about your wild-grown food.

Organic? Well obviously vegetables and fruit grown without chemical fertilisers or pesticides are supposed to be better for us, and that’s what makes organic Salads expensive. But you don’t need to look for organic produce for most salad recipes.

As long as you wash your ingredients properly, perhaps in bottle mineral water if your public supply is tainted with chlorine, and the vegetables are known to be edible (watch out for those dodgy mushrooms), then you will do fine.

And Salads really are easy to prepare. Remember, though, it’s not just the right fresh ingredients you need, but proper equipment. Make sure you have a sharp knife for slicing, and a proper cutting board on which to do it.

A salad will look even more wholesome and winsome if it is served in the right container. A wooden bowl seems natural, especially if you can toss and serve the salad with a wooden spoon and fork. Or how about a salad presented in a scooped out coconut shell?

Let your imagination take over and present your salad artistically and with respect.

It’s part of the salad philosophy: being natural (and occasionally wild), gorgeous to look at, and worth every cent.
