W.O.C. Salad "Cayman Salad"

W.O.C. West of Cayman Salad
(this is what I ordered almost everyday while on vacation :]! )


This was the first salad I ordered when we arrived last Saturday!
Lets just say I am SO GLAD I did !!!

With the beans, corn, tomatoes, and avocado it tasted just like a taco salad, MY FAV !

What was in the salad:
*Mixed Greens (or whatever kind you like)*
*Black Beans*
*Corn*
PICO DE GALLO
*Tomato*
*Onion*
*Avocado (for dressing)*

SOOOOOO YUMMMY !! I ordered it almost everyday!!!

The next day I decided to add some Jalapeños and Banana Peppers on the side!


The pepper juice was perfect for extra flavor, as well as a nice kick!

TRY IT OUT!!!!!
Add more veggies too and make it even tastier !

Burrrrrrrrrito ;)

Kristina's Fully Raw Burrito & Awesome Sauce ;)


Feelin' Festive!?!?
WELL IF YOU ARE
.......
Here is the recipe to a HUGE delicious chard burrito 
<3

This recipe was created by the one and only
 FullyRawKristin (she is my inspiration)
and this burrito is SO tasty 
I had to share it with you !!
What you will need:

*Large Chard Leaves*
 (Kristina uses Collards)


*Green, Red, Orange, and Yellow Bell Peppers
*Zucchini*
 *Cucumber*
*Shredded Carrots*
*Some Lemon Juice*
*Tomatoes*
*Small Bunch of Cilantro*
*Green Onions*
*Alfalfa Sprouts*
*A few Sesame Seeds*
*Quarter of an Avocado*
(Thats about all you need to keep this low-fat)
*I used Quinoa for protein*

Cut all the ingredients as small as possible!!
Then mix them together!!!




Now for Kristina's Awesome Sauce:



*Half of a Zuccini*
 (more if desired)
*Less than the quarter cup of Sesame Seeds*
*Juice of 1/2 Lemon*
*Few Sprigs of Green Onion*
*1 Bell Pepper*
(preferably red)
*Use a Vitamix to Blend*

The mix of your "RAINBOW" veggies and the Awesome sauce 
is a perfect combination!!!

As long as you keep your avocado to a minimum this burrito has little to no fat in it!!

TAKE THAT:
Carlos O' Kelleys
Cebolla's
Qdoba
Chipotle
El Azteca
Moes
&
Bandidos
(I am not slamming these restaurants they all have great...............
Lettuce (; )
hahahah


EAT AWAY, AND ENJOY!!

Salad Time !


Welcome, My Favorite Salad!




Have you ever heard of "Eating the Rainbow" ?! 
Well that's what you should do, at least
once a day!!!

Throw as many veggies into a bowl, even veggies you don't like!
There are so many veggies you won't even 
notice they are there !!

What I put in my HUGE salads:

*VEGGIES*

Spinach
Collard Greens
Kale
Cilantro
Basil
Green Onion
Zucchini
Tomatoes
Carrots
Celery

*PROTEIN/NUTS/SEEDS*

Quinoa
Raw; almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and pistachios
Raw Goji Berries
and 
Organic Raisins

*DRESSING*

Guacamole
(made with only tomato and lemon juice)



FIRST:








*Wash your GREENS!*
They may be Organic, but you should always
wash your veggies!!








Toss them up!
Mix them up!
Shake, Shake, Shake 





Dry off your GREENS and put  them in a big ol' bowl!!!!!!!





Getting my protein in, QUINOA
all day, every day!
yum yum yum :)











Add in your "RAINBOW" of veggies!!
Don't be afraid to load up!









Now for the Nuts, Goji Berries and Raisins !







Finally add your Guacamole
(this guac includes ONLY tomatoes and lemon juice)








Look at that GREEN GUACAMOLE!!!!!!!
It's pure deliciousness 
:)
<3






What I hope you take away from this post:

*Eat the rainbow :)
*Load up on veggies, do not worry about the "calories"
 if you aren't using fatty calorie filled dressings,
eat to your hearts content!
*Make sure to get protein in your salad like quinoa, beans, or anything you like
*Eat an array of nuts and seeds, be careful not to eat to much (like they say, to much of a good thing [healthy fat] can be a bad thing)
*Make your dressings, HEALTHY!
Throw the fatty calorie filled yucky dressings away!

BE HEALTHY, STAY FIT, WORK HARD!

You rock!
