Neal and I are trying to slip a few more raw meals into our diet when we find something that's inviting and not to much prep work. This one fit the bill. It looks iffy but it tastes great.
So the original recipe uses Swiss chard and I thought I have kale growing in the back, I'll just use that. The taste was right but the size of my leaves was wrong. I had to do a "taco" if you will instead of a wrap. Still yummy though.
The Cashew Orange Spread is to die for and it made this a real treat. I would slice the apples into thinner slices next time just for easier handling when eating. For the kids, I knew this was not going to be difficult to handle so I just threw theirs into a food processor and hit the chop switch a few times. It was a chapped salad for them and I just served it in a bow with a spoon. They ate it up.
This is pretty light so I'd keep it as a lunch. We added more bulk to our meal by offering raw carrot and celery sticks and cauliflower florets. I put the bowl of veggies in the middle of the table and threatened that they could not have any of them until they ate what was in the bowl first. Inject evil laugh here. They liked the salad version of the recipe and were downing the cru de te as their special treat in no time. I love freaky child raising moments like this. I feel like such a genius!
