It's Rawesome!

LO'S RAWESOME 7-LAYER SALAD
serves 1

spinach
3 mushrooms, halved & sliced
6 raspberries
1/4 bell pepper, sliced thin
raisins, just a small handful
3 tsp. salsa
1 Tbls. raw pumpkin seeds
1 T. flax seed oil, or to taste
salt & pepper, to taste

In a bowl place a big handful of spinach. I use about 3 oz. Layer the sliced mushrooms on top of the spinach. Drizzle with some flax seed oil. Sprinkle the handful of raisins over the mushrooms. Arrange the raspberries and bell pepper slices attractively over the raisins. You can use any color of bell pepper, but the orange ones look good, adding some extra color. Add several small spoonfuls of salsa, either in the center, or along the edges of the bowl. (make it look good!)Sprinkle the raw pumpkin seeds over the salad, add salt and pepper to taste. I also like a pinch of dill on top.

I just love this salad. It is tangy, sweet, crunchy and smooth all at the same time. No more typical '7-layer salad' with boiled eggs, bacon, sour cream and mayo. This is better than that could ever be, and so much healthier. Enjoy!
