    Fried basil leaves! Something I tried one day, and loved: pour a bit of walnut oil into a skillet. Lay in fresh basil leaves, sprinkle with salt. Allow to fry until they are crisp. They add a ton of flavor!

    Fruits and nuts are soo good in a salad, my favorite one is this:

    roughly chopped baby spinach, purple cabbage, cucumber, chopped sauteed butternut squash cubes, raw cashews, red pepper pieces, raw mushroom slice, rasperries, strawberries, blueberries, raw walnuts, cubed chicken, live sprouts, a couple of really good tomatoes deseeded and chopped up, arugula, and top it with ground up fresh ginger and mint, some canned manderine orange segments, , with a squeese of lemon and a bit of evoo. love it!

    grrr to not having everything i need oh well, it's soup weather anyhow.

    I am a big time salad junkie. I love salad and SOUP all times of the year. I fear cooked food these days. Eating live plants is better for you than dead animals.

    mmm... salad... I like to keep it simple... I've always been weird about too many ingredients @ once. Normally my salads consist of baby spinach (organic), w/ chopped avocado, and sometimes some shredded carrot (love my food processor!)

    No dressing... just a sprinkling of salt 'cause the avocado is so rich.

    Mmm... the only salad I see at Japanese restaurants is your basic side salad with a ginger dressing. Lots of variations on making the dressing though. I say search it on sites like epicurious and pick one you like.

    You know, this quote never really spoke to me. So, what if you only eat broth? Are you broth? If you only eat vegetables, are you vegetables? It's not like I'm made out of chicken legs and cherry tomatoes or whatever else I might have had for lunch! Why can't the quote be "If you eat like crap, you'll feel like crap"!?!?
