Blend together in a Blender or Mini-Food Processor:
3-4 walnuts
1 tablespoon sweet mustard (or 1 tsp. dried mustard seeds)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoon organic extra virgin olive oil (or less)
1 1/2 tablespoons raw honey or 2 soft dates
1 teaspoon sea salt
A few tablespoons of water – to get the consistency you want. (Alternatively you can add some pineapple and apple chunks into the blender)
A delicious raw food lunch!
This can be eaten as a healthy, filling breakfast or a nice tasty lunch. If you want to serve for dinner, you could serve the salad on a bed of romaine lettuce, just for good presentation.
Note: In this recipe, we don’t soak the walnuts. Their taste is better enjoyed when crunchy, not soft. Of course, you can always do what feels best for you! Enjoy!!
