Lunchtime food, aka the "Re-run meals"

[sarahfae]

Occasionally (or at least throughout the week) I'll have the same food(s), over and over again, for my breakfast and lunches. Saving the fun and exciting foods (also the food that takes more prep time) for evenings or the weekend.
Because of  this repeat meal situation I try to at least find new ways of plating the food - so it may look different from yesterdays salad - but in reality it's still just...yesterdays salad.
Why do I do this?
Well, I don't really know --- but it's kept me sustained, happy, and totally devoted to eating 100% raw thus far --- so I think it's working.
I dunno, I also think that the visual side of food really truly plays a part in the overall eating-enjoyment-process - and in my case it also helps fuel my commitment raw food.

So yes, while I reserve the fun, new, and exciting food for livejournal posts I also take pictures of all the mundane (to me) food that I eat very regulary. And if you don't mind, I'd like to share some of it with you guys. Let's just call them "Re-run meals"

Okay! One of my current favorite "Re-run meals" is this (shared with my sister last weekend):

Rainbow Chopped Salad, with hummus vinaigrette

Super easy, super colorful, and really tasty! I could eat this for breakfast lunch and dinner (for at least a week) and not get tired of it.
All you do is chop the following ingredients very well, and mix them in a bowl (dressing recipe to follow):

Carrot (shredded or chopped)
Purple Bell Pepper (chopped)
Red Cabbage (chopped)
Romaine (finley chopped)
Onion (chopped)
Tomato (chopped)
Celery (chopped)
Fresh corn (can use frozen if you don't mind that it's not 100% raw)
Avocado (chopped)

Simple Hummus Dressing:

2 or 3 heaping Tbsp of my Walnut "no chickpea hummus" (scroll down to the bottom of the page for recipe)
2 Tbsp Water
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tsp apple Cidar vin.
A pinch or 2 of Onion powder
1 (heaping) Tbsp Nut.yeast
Dash of Braggs

Put the above in a sealed air tight container and shake it! Dance around your kitchen! Shake it to Metro Station!
Okay, here's the difficult part:
Pour the dressing over the salad, toss it evenly, and top with Sunflower Parm.

Eat with a friend, or better yet, eat it with a friend outside in the sunshine paired with a glass of sun tea!
