New York, New York, December 30, 2010 — This early day salad brings the same clean energy as walking at sunrise. Take the walk first and then enjoy this cleansing diet recipe. Serve with a glass Grapefruit-Grape Juice and follow with sips of warm white or green tea.

Rising Sun Salad with Pepita Pecan Cacao Cream

2-3 sliced bananas

3 cups sliced papaya

4 sun-dried apricots, cut in slivers

2 Tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley

cup ground Brazil nuts and walnuts

Layer all the ingredients in a shallow soup bowl.

Pepita Pecan Cacao Cream

cup raw pepitas or pumpkin seeds

cup raw pecans

2 to 3 cups pure water or coconut water, depending on how thick you like your cream

2 Tablespoons cacao powder

To remove the enzyme inhibitors that make nut milks just a tad bitter, soak (sprout) the seeds and nuts first, if there is time, for 2 hours in pure water. Drain, and briefly rinse away the enzyme inhibitors, and place the soaked nuts and seeds in your blender with half the pure water or green coconut water. Cream the mixture on the high setting for several minutes. Add remaining liquid and cacao powder and continue creaming for several minutes longer. Transfer to a pitcher and serve this frothy, healthy cream over the salad. Peace is just one mouthful away.

Serves 2, with plenty of yummy nut cream left over for the next day and the next.
