Since going raw/vegan I have been making tons of salads! That can get pretty lame and boring after a while! So I have been getting creative with my ingredients. It's also more time consuming then you think. I was cutting/chopping each individual vegetable or fruit that was going into the bowl. Until…. the Salad Chopper from Prepara!
I love this! Now, I can throw everything into a bowl, and chop it up quickly and easy! I had marinated beets, broccoli, shitake mushrooms, with a mix of lettuce.
Here is my end result! I put a little Balsamic Vinegar on top and was ready to go. I used to use olive oil on my salads as well. I thought it was considered a healthy oil. While it is still a "healthier" choice then animal fats, it is not necessary in our diets. While it is made up of mostly mono saturated fats, it is still 14% saturated fats, no nutritional value, and a whooping 120 calories per tablespoon. Here is a quick easy read on olive oil
