10 FOODS YOU SHOULD BE EATING RAW | ITALIAN BROCCOLI SALAD

[@potato6658]

I would change up the dressing because for me onions are hard to eat in chunks, but if i put them into my magic bullet with the garlic, olive oil, and vinegar that would liquify them. That’s how I usually make dressing for my salads. I never buy premade dressing anymore. Great Video Lisa!!

[@donnabacon4681]

That's a great idea! Liquify them! Still getting them raw and with the benefits! Plus! the dressing is better emulsified.

[@lucycarl6301]

Hi Lisa, I really enjoy these types of videos. The older I get, the more I appreciate the benefits of eating well. Thank you 😊

[@joystott1867]

Agree!!!

[@rebekahphillips2334]

I LOVE this video!! I've been trying to eat healthy for a while (many years), but so many "diets" are really not all that healthy. Last year, I started eating mediterranean, and it's amazing!!! I think eating real food makes such a difference. ❤

[@asimpleseason2616]

Yay! I’m so glad it’s making a difference for you :)

I sprinkle chia seeds on just about everything; eggs, yogurt (sometimes, I mix yogurt with chia seeds, flax seeds, uncooked old fashioned oats, cinnamon, a splash of vanilla, granola (Aldi's Pumpkin and Flax Seed is so good! It's has the crunch without tasting stale or hard-as-a-rock as many other granola), nuts and maybe a few mini chocolate chips, fruit, it all depends on what I have - and that's dinner or a snack. Add to salads, pizza, potatoes... whatever Chia seeds are good for the digestion as it helps with the "elimination" in rhe morning. I love Olive Oil, but how do you know if, even by buying EVOO, that that is a good quality brand? I've never heard of Gallo; don't know if only in Canada, or my area does not sell. Will be researching. Thanks! Lisa! Enjoy your day and have a fantastic weekend!! xxoo

Thank you Lisa. I love the nutrients you touched on today and have them regularly. Great tip on the balsamic vinegar ingredients. Love broccoli in particular and sweet onions. I will try the salad for sure.

Your videos are always so warm and useful. Your home is beautiful. Broccoli salad tonight and lunch tomorrow 😊

[@bparrish517]

Enjoyed your story about your mom and raw garlic. It reminds me of something I enjoy from my childhood…raw onions on white bread with mayo, Duke’s, of course. Love your channel, from the Deep South 🇺🇸.

[@asimpleseason2616]

Oh wow, sounds delicious...I think I’m going to be trying it for lunch tomorrow 😊

[@joystott1867]

Broccoli salad yum, i would add red bell peppers with all the other ingredients to add color and flavour! Made that before, even sometimes feta or fresh parmesan cheese!

I wish you had a beauty channel because you're so beautiful and your makeup is perfect. I'm always wondering about what you know in beauty.

[@asimpleseason2616]

How kind, thank you! I do the odd beauty video as well...I will have one coming up in the next while :)

I eat a clove of garlic when I am starting to feel sick. Raw garlic has antibiotic and antiviral properties. When my children were small I would finely mince garlic and add it to a little bowl of cold applesauce with some honey, so that they could get the benefits of the garlic without having to eat it while not feeling well. It packs a punch.

[@asimpleseason2616]

Great tip!

[@BlendAndConquer]

Word of caution with raw chia seeds is to please please soak them before consuming. If you swallow a bunch of them without the development of that gel coating they can get stuck in your throat then expand and choke you. I always soak them in water for at least 15 or just make overnight oats with them in the fridge.

[@asimpleseason2616]

You are right about soaking them for a bit...I never thought about them being a choking hazard...thanks so much for sharing that :)

[@Patti-1962]

I have been really enjoying your content! We eat a lot of fresh carrots and cucumbers as a side dish. We always cook our broccoli, but to be honest, I actually like it better raw!

[@donnabacon4681]

Have you ever roasted broccoli?? It's a bit different; but brussel sprouts - OH! MY! What a difference in taste!!

[@Patti-1962]

@@donnabacon4681 Yes!! We actually found a recipe for how to roast frozen broccoli. It tastes like fresh!!

Hello Walmart Delivery? I want garlic, onion, broccoli, a gallon of X Olive oil in a dark bottle and seeds and can you deliver that like now!?

[@sailorgirl2017]

I don't like the taste of raw onions...what about quick pickled onions? Those I can do on salads and burgers...Thanks Lisa! Just checked my Balsamic and it's a good one. Yay! Your raw garlic story...lol.

[@asimpleseason2616]

Thanks for your question, Sailor girl...Pickled onions are okay in moderation since they tend to have a lot of sugar and sodium and preservatives which changes their health profile. I love them by the way lol! If you really aren't a fan of raw onions, not to worry...just incorporate more of the healthy foods you do like ...have a great weekend :)

[@sailorgirl2017]

Perfect. I don't use sugar for my quick pickles but definitely will consider the addition of salt! Thanks !! @@asimpleseason2616
