Whole Foods Salad Bar Recipe Swipe
My friends and I have been joking that we treat the Whole Foods salad bar like going “home for dinner”. The only difference though, when I go home for dinner it’s free. At Whole Paycheck Foods it’s most certainly not free. Hence my inspiration to re-create one of my favorite items from the salad bar after a $14.00 salad on Monday night.
I am a frequent lover of the Detox Salad and after a quick peek at the ingredient list, I knew I could make it at home. But then, out of sight out of mind…
Until last night when I was browsing my blogroll looking for ideas totally unrelated to the Detox Salad, and saw that Angela re-created it herself! Her creation is probably more like the original but it was 9pm and I wasn’t about to head to the store. So, using ingredients I already had in my fridge, I adapted the recipe from this to this:
Detox Salad
Inspired by Oh She Glows, inspired by Whole Foods
*Don’t be discouraged by this measly looking ingredient list. With the texture of the raw veg from the food processor and everything all married together, it rocks.
1 bag of broccoli florets
3 large carrots
3 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 cup sliced almonds
3/4 cup raisins
juice from 1 lemon
salt
pepper
cayenne pepper to taste
Finely chop the broccoli in a food processor. Empty into large mixing bowl. Then process the carrots and empty into a bowl. Mix everything else together. The longer this sits, the more flavorful it becomes.
I served it over half a can of chick peas and some cooked quinoa.
Take that, Whole Foods!
