Hello my Dearest Foodies,
Raw and crunchy salad may not be what you crave right now, but trust me, you would change your mind if you try it. It is very flavorful and most importantly, highly nutritious. I am sure you know how important is to boost your body with antioxidants during this season. And even better if they come from root vegetables and apples, because they are natural for our bodies at this time of year.

I wonder how it would taste if I put some slices of pear in there?
I think that would taste yummy, I have quinoa salad recipe with pear and pomegranate and that one is delicious as well.
What a tasty, light salad! Love the apples :) You are a true artist in the kitchen Lena, your presentation is amazing! Wonderful meal idea during this time of year!

Thank you so much my Dear π πππΏπππ
My turn to come stalk. π I hope they have some daikon at the market on Saturday because I will absolutely be making this! I've already got the pomegranates and most of the other ingredients...
Thanks for stalking Katie, lol. They should have daikon, I've been see it everywhere π πππΏπππ
I think you are right. I got some a few weeks ago, so there should still be plenty to be had! The last one I got was as long as my forearm!
Holy moly! That was long, because you have long forearms, lol.
That looks so delicious! What a beautiful salad for this time of year! I'm nominating this to @c-squared
Oh wow, so that's how the c-squared works? I had no idea. Thank you so much Dear Melinda; I really appreciate it πππ
My pleasure. You beautiful post deserves more attention.
You are very kind Dear Melinda πππ
Well, this is a Christmas Salad with a difference @lenasveganliving. I often add radishes to my salads as I love the tangy, spicy flavour. And the dressing looks Yum too. I very rarely overlook anything that has ginger in it. Many thanks for continuing to bless us with your culinary expertise my friend. ( U & R )
It's my passion Trudee and I am happy when people appreciate it. Thank you so much for you supprt my Dear πππ
It is clear to see that you are passionate about what you do Lena and because of this, people are drawn to your posts like a magnet. So even if you didn't provide artistically appealing blogs, the passion would still shine through.
I hope you continue to be blessed through your love of the vegan way of life and that others will continue to appreciate the time and effort you put in, to share it with us.
I am very touched by your words Trudee, they mean a lot to me. Thank you so much and lots of blessings to you too πΈππΈ

Thank you so much my Dear Puravidaville, you are so sweet............. I am just trying to give those healthy fruits & veggies the look they deserve before we eat them, lol πππ

You know how to brighten our winter my dear Lady Lena , as usual ! =))
Hello Luigi, nice to see you. Thank you so much, I am glad you like it πππ
Howdy there Miss Lena! ok, what are you trying to do, make the world's healthiest salad? lol. It is stunning in it's colors and it looks like the flavors will match it! I see limes there, I haven't had a lime in forever, maybe never!
Howdy Janton! You know me, always trying to do my best when comes to healthy. I am.glad you like it and you don't eat the lime. You just sqeeze the juice into the dressing. Thank you so much for stopping by πππ
oh I heard that lime juice was really good for you too. People don't eat it though, they just use the juice? I think the last time I saw one was when Mrs. J ate one and it made me cringe! lol.
Mouth watering salad Lena! I have never used daikon as salad before, but pickled it :-)
It must be yummy pickled for sure too. Thank you so much for stopping by Icy, I am glad you like it. I hope you are doing well, settling down in your new home πππ
