Salad

Sprouts

bite size shreds of lettuce
alfalfa sprouts and or mung beans
Tomatoes diced in quarters
chunks of avocado, 
2 Tablespoons of tahini
grated big juicy carrot
French dressing.
Sometimes I add sautéed onions and garlic with tofu,
or feta cheese, 
sunflowers seeds, 
or I use finely chopped cabbage, in stead of lettuce,
raisins or pineapple,
or spinach with mushrooms, 
or cubed potatoes, or rice... 
what ever I¹ve got.
Get creative, toss and enjoy.
