Recipe for Ta’s Raw Food Jungle Salad

Mix together:

~2 cups Shredded Green Papaya (slightly ripened). If you can’t find green papaya where you live, you can use shredded zucchini.

1 Shredded Cucumber. Our favorite tool for shredding is the som tam slicer!

1 Medium tomato, sliced.

Fresh young coconut meat (flesh), sliced (1 coconut).

2 handfuls fresh Morning Glory greens. You can also use baby spinach or whatever greens you like!

1/2 cup Kimchi (Ta’s is made with beetroot, cabbage and daikon)

3-5 (or more!) fresh Thai chilies. You can replace with 1 fresh jalapeno.

2-3 cloves fresh garlic (as you like).

1 fresh lime, squeezed.

2-3 fresh Tamarind fruits soaked in water for about 30 minutes. Use about 4 cups water to marinate. Add about 1/2 cup of this liquid to the salad.

Now that is some serious Healthy Bliss!!!

Prepare the salad ingredients and have ready in a bowl. Mash together the chilies and garlic in a mortar & pestle, then add tamarind juice & lime juice and gently toss in ingredients. If you do not have a mortar and pestle, simply chop up the garlic and chilies, put in a small bowl, add the tamarind and lime juice. Stir to make your dressing, then toss the dressing into the salad.

Be prepared to enjoy this delicious, healthy jungle love!!

Coconuts are like people…the exterior husk is easy enough to break through, but then you have this tough layer to crack.

Thwack!!

Your approach is important…

You need the right tools to get people to divulge their sweet inner self..

What you find inside usually requires handling with care..

Getting to the juice is well worth it.

Every person has a tender core that is protected by an exterior shield which has it’s purpose..

BUT IT’S WHAT’S INSIDE THAT COUNTS!!

-I found that in Insight Bali Magazine…cute huh!
Happy Coconut Love to Y’all!
