Currently I’m educating myself about eating and living the macrobiotic way. It seems like quite a huge lifestyle change, at least, it would be for this family. Ironically, while I’m reading about eliminating meat, sugar and dairy from my diet, we threw a barbecue consisting of well, pretty much everything on the ‘avoid’ list…

Fortunately, it’s the season when so many amazing fruits and veggies are everywhere, so I was also able to fill the table with fresh salads, (including this tomato & mozza) which sort of ‘redeemed’ all the animal protein, I thought…

Here’s a fabulous salad idea that I got from the ladies at Mr. Starlily’s work, who are always feeding him. Using organic pre-prepared mixed baby greens made it extra quick and easy. You can also add seeds and nuts. Of course, the ingredients are interchangeable and up to you, but this is how I made it.

fresh greens (the more different kinds and colors, the better, including baby spinach, of course)
chopped tomatoes
chopped mushrooms
shredded or chopped carrots
chopped celery
handfuls of berries (I used blueberries and raspberries)
mandarin orange segments
prawns

Mix everything together, throwing the fruit and prawns in right before serving. Actually, I served the prawns on the side, since certain picky eaters were in attendance. Serve with your favorite Asian toasted sesame dressing.
