Besides satisfying your guests, the goal of this menu is to satiate your hunger and your desire for good food without interfering with your cleansing process. It also respects the principles of food combining (Simply put: starches with starches and proteins with proteins) giving the body a break so that your body’s energy is used for healing instead of for digestion.
Menu: Appetizer: Natalia’s Favorite Salad; Entrée: Maple-Glazed Salmon à La Detox Served With Sautéed Broccoli; Dessert: If you really need your dessert, a little dark chocolate (68 percent cocoa content or higher) or some goat’s milk ice cream by Laloo’s will keep you on track with your cleansing. Their Vanilla Snowflake and Dark Chocolate flavors are great.
NATALIA’S FAVORITE SALAD
Makes 2 to 4 servings
In her book, Natalia mentions how she loves the way the fresh lemon juice, stevia and grated cheese come together so decadently, while the greens and tomatoes keep the whole dish fresh from the garden. I totally agree. I love this salad very much and often eat it alone as my meal. With you guests, serve the salad as an appetizer (then the salmon and the broccoli as entrée).
½ pounds baby romaine lettuce or baby spinach (or both)
½ cup of the best local tomatoes you can find, chopped
1 small beet, grated
3 ounces Alta Dena raw cheddar-style cheese, grated
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
3 to 4 packets stevia (or 1 teaspoon Nu Naturals liquid stevia)
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
Keep it as simple as the above list of ingredients if time is constrained or make it really gourmet for your dinner party by adding the following:
2 tablespoons sweet onions, diced
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, rosemary or chives (or all three), chopped
Toss all the ingredients together in a large salad bowl and serve.
MAPLE-GLAZED SALMON A LA DETOX
Makes 4 servings(From Natalia Rose’s book: Detox for Women: An All New Approach for a Sleek Body and Radiant Health in 4 Weeks)
It’s so quick and easy to prepare while quite possibly the juiciest, most full-flavored dish your friends have ever enjoyed!
1 cup Nama Shoyu (healthy soy sauce)
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
Splash of toasted sesame oil
1 to 2 packets stevia (natural sweetener)
4 fresh salmon fillets, well rinsed
Mix the nama shoyu, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and stevia in blender. Spread the mixture over the fish and marinate for 1 to 24 hours. Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Discard the marinade and bake the fish for 18 minutes.
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons organic butter
Celtic sea salt or Himalayan Salt
Fresh pepper
Melt butter over moderate heat, then cook garlic, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli florets tossing in butter to coat. Cook for about 8 minutes adding some water if needed. Season with salt and pepper
Why butter? Because of their sensitivity to heat, the molecular structure of cooked oils is compromised causing free radical production in the body. Real butter is a much better choice. Use organic butter to avoid hormones and antibiotics. Never cook with oils. You can use them uncooked in your salads. Buy the cold-pressed, extra-virgin variety.
