Serves 2 as a main course, 4 as a starter 

1 large head of romaine lettuce or other favourite lettuce
2 small handfuls of watercress
1 cup mixed seedless grapes, cut in half
1 apple, diced
2 sticks celery, finely diced
1 cup walnuts, roughly broken up*
1 small handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley
Optional: A few good chunks of macadamia cheese**

*As an optional step with the walnuts, you can soak them for 20 minutes, then drain and rinse, followed by a toss in 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon fine Himalayan salt. Then dehydrate at 115 degrees for 12 hours. When they are completely dried, roughly break them up by hand.

**Nut cheese recipes are available in my Raw Nut Cheese Recipes eBook (just fold in some spirulina to the basic macadamia cheese recipe). A ‘deeper dive’ into making raw nut cheeses and the actual macadamia blue cheese recipe can be found here. Also, if you’re a member of The Raw Chef Academy Monthly, you can find a cheese video in the bonuses section.

For the dressing

1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup cashews (soaked for 20 minutes), or 1/4 cup almond butter
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt
3 or 4 turns of black pepper

- Tear the lettuce and watercress by hand and transfer to a bowl with your grapes and celery.

- Chop the tough stalks off the parsley and then finely chop the leaves, adding them to your bowl.

- Put all the dressing ingredients, along with the parsley stalks into a blender and blend until smooth.

- Put enough dressing into the bowl, so that all the leaves are lightly covered. When tossed together, add the walnuts and toss the salad lightly again.

- Transfer to your serving plates and then finish with a little of the macadamia blue cheese. If you don’t have the macadamia blue cheese, a quick macadamia Parmesan recipe can be made by grating 1/2 cup unsoaked macadamias on a Microplane and mixing in 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast and 1/2 teaspoon salt, which looks great sprinkled over the top.

I’m not really one for new year’s resolutions, but I can’t deny that the new year has that Lover energy of new beginnings, a time for reflection, and a commitment to start a fresh in any area of your life.

For many people, perhaps you, I realise raw and living foods are going to be a major player in your renewed commitment to be the best version of your self that you can be.

I really see my part in helping you do that clearer than ever, so I’ve created some new videos that are going to help you create the most amazing raw food, to support you in your goals going into this new year.

This is a completely free series of raw food recipes and videos over the next week, so head over here to see the first one.

If you’ve been with me for a few months or more, you might remember the ‘worst video ever’ I did. Well, it actually turned out to be the most popular video I’ve ever done, so we did another one.

Click here to see me making raw food without a recipe (it’s part one, part 2 will follow).

Please do let me know what you think in the comments and Facebook comments below the video, and if you feel drawn to share with your friends via Facebook and Twitter there’s the ability to do that too. Thank you.
