Rainbow Garden Salad & Honey Mustard Lime Dressing

Let’s face it, salads can get boring. So it’s been our mission to mix it up a lot when it comes to salads and different dressing ideas. Raw food is certainly  fun play with and you can get really gourmet with it too! But when your goal is just to feel energized, stay healthy and live a normal life where you’re not in the kitchen all day and night, gourmet raw is not the way to go.

Some of the recipes here on YoungandRaw.com are fun to try especially if you’re just getting into whole foods and want to play in the kitchen, or if you have someone in the family who’s super picky. For the most part though, our days consist of lots of lemon water, juices, green smoothies & fruit smoothies, big salads, herbs and cooked meals too.

This salad is kind of a base recipe that I use a lot because the flavors are just so great together. It’s loaded with nutrients and has blood building properties from the beets. You can add many different types of dressing to this one, today we’re using Honey Mustard Lime dressing.

Ingredients:

Dressing: 

• 1/4 Cup of Organic stone ground mustard
• 2-3 tbsp. Local, organic, sustainably harvested honey
• 2-3 Fresh Limes, juice only
• pinch of Himalayan salt

Instructions: Stir the mixture together in a glass jar and you’ve got dressing. Serve over your salad, store for 3-4 days.
