Apple Lime Broccoli Slaw

Fresh and ready for warmer weather, this recipe naturally follows the Gerson Therapy diet without missing any vital ingredients. Make this salad as is, or add to a bed of lettuce for more veges. You could also easily substitute whatever you have on-hand: other dried fruits for raisins, lemon for lime, different onion (only if you really like onion, because a substitute would make the onion flavor stronger.)

 

salad:

• 1 bag broccoli slaw
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 1/4 red onion, fine diced
• 1 sweet apple, cubed
• 1/4 cup raisins
• a few sprigs of parsley, chopped and to garnish

dressing:

• 2 tsp honey
• 2 limes, juiced

Add broccoli slaw, celery, onion, apple, raisins, and parsley to a bowl. Mix honey with juice of 2 limes. It initially seems hard to melt the honey, but it will eventually melt. Mix the dressing to the salad and serve.

Note: If you package the salad as leftovers, the raisins might re-hydrate a bit. (I didn’t mind.)

Enjoy 🙂

Salsa Fresca

Ready for the Super Bowl!

I was so happy when I realized most typical salsa ingredients were okay for the Gerson diet. This salsa is so fresh and can be used by itself or as a topping for many foods. I have been adding it to greens as a “salad dressing,” with cold chopped potatoes. I have also been thinking of dehydrating some kale to make kale chips, and trying this salsa out with chips. Store in a mason jar, and use freely for topping.

 

Very easy to make, just mix all ingredients together in a bowl.

• 4-5 medium-size tomatoes, chopped
• 1/2 sweet pepper (we used red), chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced, to taste
• 1/2 red or sweet onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• juice of 1-2 limes or lemons (limes preferred)
• flax oil, to taste (optional)
