I made the following dressing for tonight’s salad:

• 1 avocado
• 1/2 red pepper
• 4 wild garlic leaves
• 1 sun dreid tomato, soaked
• 1 tomato
• 2 tablespoons flax seeds
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 2.5cm (1inch) piece of lemongrass

Put everything into a blender, including some of the soak water from the tomato and blend.

I thought I’d expand on the laver recipe from a few days ago. This is what I used:

• 1 avocado
• large handful of laver (soaked)
• 1 1/2 sun dried tomatoes (soaked)
• 6 wild garlic leaves
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds
• about 5 walnuts

As always, everything went into the Vitamix, including all the soak water from the laver.

I had this over a salad of grated carrot and sweet potato with loads of wild greens – pennywort, dandelion, wild garlic and dead nettles, mmm delicious.

On the 29th and 30th of April me and Holly are running the “Raw and Wild Weekend” at our house here in Devon. We’ll be showing you how to make all kinds of delicious raw foods, including lasagne, pizza, paté, soup, chocolate pudding and of course I’ll share with you some of my avocado dressings! We’ll also go picking wild greens, do some eye connection meditation and bhajans/chanting.

If you want to come you can email me directly on rob@funkyraw.com. There’s more info on the Funky Raw website and you can even book online.

Laver is a type of seaweed, popular in Wales, and I remember several years ago a Welsh housemate of mine making “laver bread” which is not bread at all, but is made by frying laver and other things which I can’t remember. Anyway, on to todays recipe, which is raw, absolutly no frying involved:

• 1 avocado
• a couple of large handful of laver, soaked for about 15 mins
• 1 1/2 sun dried tomatoes, soaked
• 3 wild garlic leaves

All the ingredients go into the Vitamix with some of the seaweed soak water and some of the tomato soak water. It was delicious. I often find the simple recipes are the best.

Just a quick one to tell you all the dressing I made for tonights salad:

• 2 avocados
• 2 1/2 sun dried tomatoes. soaked
• 2 fresh tomatoes
• small piece of spring onion
• 4 wild garlic leaves
• small piece of chili

A simple one which worked really well. Everything in the vitamix including a little soak water from the tomatoes. Had it with a salad of cucumber, grated carrot, sweet potato and beetroot, and lots of wild greens – pennywort, dandelion and wild garlic.
