Colourful Heirloom Carrots are really delicious in this salad. Avoid using the purple ones as they will stain the entire salad and you won't see the lovely coriander and seeds.
This salad is so simple to make and keeps well in the fridge. The toasted cumin seeds bring a wonderful warmth and fragrance to this salad and the toasted coconut, sesame and cashews add a depth of flavour and substance. It can be enjoyed as is or served as an accompaniment to an Indian meal, with rice, etc...

The Ingredients:
4 large heirloom carrots, white and orange, grated
1/2 ripe avocado, mashed
handful or 1/2 c coriander
juice of 2 limes or 3 tbsp
2 tbsp flax oil or your favourite oil
1 tsp crystal salt
1 tsp toasted cumin seeds
2 tsp fresh red chili, seeded and minced (quantity depends on heat of chili )

small handful raisins
1/4 c - roasted cashews, toasted sesame seeds and toasted coconut

The Method:
Combine the first 8 ingredients in a mixing bowl and massage together until well combined. Add the remaining ingredients and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

 
 
Saving Grace
Serves 1
The name of this soup comes from the feeling it gives me on the initial days of a cleanse, it’s my saving grace! I get so hungry by mid day on the first few days and this soup makes it all better. It’s slightly smokey from the chipotle which gives real comfort and it’s rather filling too. On the nutritional front, it’s pretty impressive  - leafy greens contain crucial folic acid, minerals, antioxidants, fiber and proteins while avocado is a good source of healthy fats, folate, potassium and vitamin E. Chilies get your blood flow going are an abundant source of antioxidants and vitamin C.
Ingredients:
Cucumber, peeled and chopped
½ c coriander, washed and chopped  
40ml Lime Juice
2 tbsp Red Onion, peeled and chopped
2 handfuls Baby Spinach, washed
1 tsp chipotle chili, soaked till soft and chopped
¼ tsp Crystal Salt
½ Ripe Haas Avocado
1 tsp Flax/Linseed Oil

The Method:
Combine all ingredients except Flax Oil in a high speed blender and blend on high for 30 seconds or until it’s smooth. Turn the blender onto low speed and drizzle in the flax oil. This will create a little emulsification, making the soup thick, creamy and rich.
