Brit and I are going on a mini-vacation to Vegas over Christmas so we celebrated with presents and Christmas dinner a little early this year. Many traditional dishes were served (stuffing! ham! mashed potatoes!) but I didn’t feel the slightest bit deprived during my first fruitarian holiday. I actually managed to make a salad bigger than my appetite!
I loved this holiday dish from 80/10/10 chef, Kristina Carillo-Bucaram and to my delight, so did everyone else!
Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

Spending the day on juices, smoothies and simple fruit meals is a piece of (fruit?) cake but by the time dinner rolls around I’m ready for something savory. The 80/10/10 plan omits added salt which has honestly been the hardest thing for me so far but I feel like my taste buds are definitely waking up to some subtler flavors. I’ve played with a few dressing ideas but my favorite base so far is definitely mango. I’ll call this dressing 80/10/10-ish because generally garlic and onions are also omitted and combining fruit with fat is generally discouraged. Since this is all very new to me I’m giving myself a little flexibility!
Ingredients:
flesh from one mango
2 green onions
1/2 clove garlic
sliver of ginger
3 fresh dates, pitted
1/4 of an avocado (optional)
water for blending
Blend until creamy, using just enough water for desired consistency.

I took a trip to our local Asian market and brought home several bags worth of goodies that I wouldn’t usually find on my standard Trader Joe’s run! This delicious salad was a result of that trip- It was eaten following a lunch of guava fruits (which I had for the first time!) and a dessert of durian custard!
Ingredients:
1 clove garlic, minced
2 green onions, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 cup raw okra, sliced
1/2 cup cabbage, shredded
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
2 cups spinach, chopped
1 ripe avocado, diced
4 Tbsp hot curry powder
juice of 1-2 limes
salt, pepper and NuNaturals Orange Stevia to taste
Stir ingredients together until avocado and spices are creamed throughout.
