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!!
