Romaine Salad With BANANAS!

I'm still on vacation over at mom's house (check out my Green Mommy Blog for updates on what we've been up to), but I wanted to share my latest love that I had today...

I love bananas and romaine, but usually I have it in either a fresh organic smoothie or as a sandwich (large leaf of romaine with a peeled banana inside). But, today, I thought to myself... I want a big fresh romaine salad and what better topping to put on it than BANANAS!!! I know it might seem weird to have sliced bananas on a salad, but heck, we often add mango, apples, berries, and other fruits to salad. I thought... why not bananas? Then, I added my Ginger Shallot Dressing to it. OMG - SO YUM! I will be having this combination a lot more in the future. A LOT MORE! Plus, it's so easy - romaine, bananas, and simple dressing. Don't you just love easy and fresh and delicious raw recipes that fill you up with energy?!

Speaking of Ginger Shallot Dressing... it's going to be available in my new book, Kristen Suzanne's EASY Raw Vegan Transition Recipes, which is going to be available SOON! The update: the book is out of my hands now. It's going through the distribution process and I'm told it'll show up on Amazon anytime in the next 1-3 weeks.

UPDATE: I just ate my second salad for a lunch (my first serving I had earlier was for breakfast - lol). It is SOOOO good! And, I made a quick batch of Raw Vegan Cardamom Ice Cream for us to enjoy tonight. Mom is making vegan pizza (not raw) for dinner with organic crust, organic heirloom tomatoes, organic basil from her back yard, and Daiya cheese. I figured we should follow that with raw ice cream. :)
