Benhaimbroccoli, beetroot, celery, chicory, watercress, radish, sorrel,
Swiss chard, kale, spinach and tomatoes are all foods that are
best added raw. Try to make sure they are organic.
Other mixers include avocado, toasted pine kernels,
sprouts, toasted seeds, sea vegetables and coconut. Try only
three or four main vegetables at a time, as if you use them all at
once your stomach will shout chaos!
Radishes (try the black ones) are also a great addition to
most salads when sliced and placed on the side of the dish.

'Lettuce is a natural tranquilliser containing a chemical called
lactucin which in large amounts is said to have a similar effect to
cannabis flowers!'
Lettuce forms the basis of many salads, but little is known
about the basics of this everyday ingredient. Use fresh crispy
lettuce only. Chinese leaves are a great, mouthwatering
substitute. The less time from being picked to being put in the
mouth, the better. If you need to use lettuce that has not picked
the day before, place in a bowl of cold water and refrigerate for
two hours.
Washing salad leaves under cold water, leaving them to
drain dry in a salad basket then shaking in a clean cloth makes
lettuce so much more enjoyable. The heart of the lettuce and
cabbage should not be washed to enable you to savour the fresh
flavour of this delicacy.
