Rainbow Raw Salad

I bet you didn’t know that a lot of the salads you are already enjoying are raw…or if not completely raw then one ingredient removed and it could be…typically this non raw ingredient is the protein.

Nothing is simpler than a salad.

My go to lunch is getting creative with my salads

RAINBOW RAW SALAD

I always start with a greens base, typically, I fill the bottom of my bowl or plate with kale or spinach. After the base is built then the real fun comes into play. A goal of mine is to make it look as colorful as possible. The more colors you have the more variety…variety is the spice of life!

Toppings:

Veggies Galore– cabbage, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, celery, carrots, onions, artichoke, mushrooms, cilantro, parsley, tomato (yea it’s a fruit), beets, etc

Fruit (I would stick to one-to keep daily servings in line)-strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, boysenberry, goji betty, kiwi, grapefruit, oranges, melon, pomegranate, etc

Fats (1 serving)-avocado, soaked raw nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews, etc)

And to top everything off…some good ol’ fashion lemon juice.

Pilates Platinum began shortly after I experienced my first workout on a Megaformer, which is the revolutionary version of the Pilates machine, the reformer. Like many of my current clients, I fell in love with the workout and experienced amazing results after just a short amount of time. It was a combined passion for health and fitness with my new found favorite workout that led me to open my first studio in Hollywood in 2006 which eventually expanded to three additional facilities. I absolutely love life, spending as much time as I can with family, dancing, running, trying new fitness crazes, being outdoors, drinking green juice and laughing with my friends. I am a Texas girl residing in West Hollywood, CA! Learn more about Heather and Pilates Platinum by visiting: http://www.pilatesplatinum.com
