This makes a light but filling meal, especially on those days when

gardening occupies much of my time and I want something

quick but nutritious to serve my family.

8 cups chopped romaine

2 cups shredded carrots

3 c finely shredded purple cabbage

1 small red onion, finely diced

2 c finely diced celery

2 c cooked, chopped chicken

2 small cans mandarin oranges

3 cups chopped tomatoes

 

This can be served either buffet style or already plated.

 

Toss with the dressing:

 

1/2 c fresh orange juice

1/2 c olive oil

1/4 c sunflower seeds, soaked overnight and drained

1/4 raw honey or maple syrup

1/2 t sea salt

*several years ago, I was very sick...

I could barely do my own work

 and rested alot.

 Thanks to God who first of all saved my soul from hell,

then brought Hallelujah Acres

and others

into my life to teach me

what I did not know

about nutrition,

 I am well and getting better

every day.

Eating  foods from the Garden certainly is my joy and delight!
