Sometimes I’m not in the mood for chewing so I make myself a blended salad. And tonight I made one I was particularly pleased with.

First I put two tablespoons of flax seeds in a coffee grinder and ground them up. Then I put them in the Vitamix along with:

• 1 small avocado
• about 1/3 of a red pepper
• 1/2 a carrot
• a piece of cucumber
• 1 sun dried tomato, soaked
• a big handful of pennywort
• a few dandelion leaves
• a few wild garlic leaves
• a small amount of fresh chili
• a piece of fresh lemongrass
• about 1/4 tsp ground corriander

Pennywort is a wild green leaf which grows all over the place (well it does down here in Devon), although I’m sure this recipe will work fine with other greens.
