Bring this beautiful salad to any Thanksgiving gathering, or to grace your table for other special occasions. It’s loaded with delicious foods: persimmons, apples, cashews, avocado, and fresh greens. It’s hearty, crisp, and crunchy. The persimmons were a special gift from my step-mother’s orchard. They’re organic and delicious, and we just love having them to eat. Thank you Sharon—they really make this salad!

The Little Story: Raw Comes to Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is about our traditions, yet it’s also a wonderful time to share new dishes and ideas, like our Holiday Salad. Bringing the lightness and beauty of raw foods to a holiday celebration can open doors for people to learn about the beauty, vibrancy, and health benefits of raw foods. Plus, there’s a hidden bonus: they help to offset the heavier foods normally eaten on this day, or other holiday feasts.![]() With raw food, we can eat all we want and have happy tummies without the after eating tiredness that Rex and I remember from traditional Thanksgiving dinners. ![]() Share the love, and share the abundance of health with friends and families! We wish you all a wondrous holiday season! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
