Delicious and filling Keto Salad for Vegans and Vegetarians who want beautiful skin!

Ingredients

• 2 cups raw spinach

• 2 cups raw arugula

• 4 oz diced raw organic tofu (vegetarians will substitute 4 Hard-boiled eggs, sliced in three)

• 4 strips smoky tempeh “bacon” (Light life has a good option.)

• 1 whole avocado, sliced

• 1 handful raw walnut halves

• 1/8 cup raw red onion, thinly sliced

• 2 whole tomatoes, chopped

• 1 tbp extra virgin olive oil

• 1/2 tbp maple syrup

• 2 tbp rice vinegar

• 2 tbp organic soy sauce

Notes

• The Keto Diet has become very popular with its ability to assist people in controlling their weight while consuming adequate nutrition.  The idea is to cut way back on carbohydrates and up the fat and protein. This encourages the body into Ketosis, which means it will use fat stores for energy, rather than glycogen, helping you to stay lean.  
• If you are eating mainly Complex Carbohydrates, which are vegetables primarily, you can eat up to 50 grams of net carbs.  Net carbs means after you’ve deducted fiber from total carbs. Anywhere from 25-50 grams of net carbohydrate per day is the recommended amount for a Keto diet.  
• Recommendation for fat intake on Keto is 165 grams, and 75 grams of protein.
• Consuming a lot of meat products for the fat and protein is not the greatest idea for your arteries nor your skin, and of course many people are vegans for ethical reasons.
• For those who are vegetarians and include dairy, fish, and/or eggs in your diet, I include options.
• This salad is a satisfying meal, with nutrients to make your skin glow.  It’s also great for your waistline, as the carbohydrate load is very low, so you’ll be full without taking a huge insulin hit. 
• This in itself saves your skin from the Advanced Glycation, which happens when sugar binds to animal protein and breaks down collagen. 
• The Antioxidants will protect your skin from the glycation also and protect your arteries from oxidation of fats turning into blood clots which could lead to stroke or heart attack; the essential fatty acids in the avocado and walnuts will make your skin dewy. 
• The Arugula has cancer-fighting properties, as does the raw onion.
• The tofu, tempeh, and egg provide a healthy source of protein; the tofu and tempeh also contain the phytonutrient Genistein for healthy collagen. 
• The tempeh has a smoky flavor which mimics the taste of bacon, for those who like that. The greens and tomatoes provide more vitamin A, vitamin C, and lycopene. It’s a festival of greats for gorgeous skin!

It’s a festival of greats for a healthy body and glowing skin!

_{SEE BELOW FOR JUDY GARLAND’S RECIPE AND NOTES ON HER LIFE!}

Judy Garland was the talented star of stage and screen, best known for her role as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, 1939, at the age of 16. There are a couple of movies I highly recommend on the life of Judy Garland: Life with Judy Garland, 2001, starring Judy Davis; and Judy, 2019, with Renee Zellweger.

Judy Davis radiates the essence of the real Judy Garland. She’s an actress who loses herself in the role and organically incorporates her mannerisms into her performance. You will be left with empathy and admiration for Judy Garland.

Renee Zellweger is also outstanding as Judy Garland: she studies the woman and then allows that spirit to guide her movements, voice and mannerisms. It’s a dark film that shows nothing of Judy’s joyful side, but it leaves us wanting to know more. Highly recommend.

JUDY GARLAND’S VEGETABLE SALAD

Stories about the abusive treatment that the young Judy Garland received at the hands of producers, abound throughout Hollywood. She was given barbituates to sleep and amphetamines to keep her going hour after hour in rehearsals, to the point of collapse.

She had food disorders as a result, but she did strive to eat a healthy diet! This was her favorite salad. Note the plant-based ingredients that will give you antioxidants, vitamins and minerals for strong skin.

INGREDIENTS:

2 lettuce hearts, chopped

2 celery stalks, chopped

handful of watercress, chopped

2 carrots, grated

2 tomatoes, sliced

5 green olives, quartered

1/2 cup fresh or frozen green peas (she likes them cooked, I would have them raw.)

1/2 head of endive, chopped

DRESSING INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

4 teaspoons vinegar

salt to taste

paprika to taste

1 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 teaspoon sugar

DIRECTIONS

Mix all ingredients in serving bowl and enjoy like a Hollywood star!
