"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing..." -Helen Keller
 
Summer. A time for accomplishing things, right? Well, that's usually my approach to life when I have free time. So this summer, I want to learn how to cook/prepare more dishes using fresh fruits and veggies. I tried my hand at this one from a raw food website, and loved it! This whole fruit-and-veggie cooking thing is off to a good start!

Dressing Ingredients:
1 c. cashews, soaked at least two hours
juice from 1 1/2 lemons
1/4 c. water
2 small shallots, chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 T. honey
1/2 T. vinegar
pinch of salt

I mixed these in the blender until smooth.

Salad ingredients:
6 c. chopped broccoli
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 c. raisins
1 c. sunflower seeds

I mixed the salad ingredients, then I added the dressing. After tossing it evenly, I allowed it to refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. This was healthy and tasty, and most of all, incredibly simple to make.
