I've been making this salad lately. Since I don't have my spiralizer with me I just peel the cucumbers with a vegetable peeler into strips.

I use 1 oz of walnuts as the overt. DELICIOUS.

Of course I add extra tomatoes into the salad and I also use fresh basil and a little bit of scallion and cayenne pepper.

Mmmmmmmmm …. RICO!

I may be the only one ever, but I did not have the super quick weight loss that most people experience going raw. I lost a lot of water weight during the first couple of weeks, but fat loss has been incredibly slow for me. It’s something I’ve struggled with for years and an issue I think my binging played a part in…I just don’t lose weight easily. I sure can pack it on, though.

If you are looking to put on weight, the best advice I can give is to adopt a weight training program. Start small (think 3-5lbs or even a light tension resistance band) and work yourself up from there. I’ve been into heavy weight training for many years now and it has definitely improved the shape of my frame.

You can get lots of possibilities for dressing by combining something from each of the following groups:

(a) lemon or lime
(b) fresh herb
(c) non-sweet fruit
(d) celery leaves
