Lacinato Herb Wraps
This salad seems so simple yet it has so many
layers of flavor and is packed with nutrition! - It is definitely one of my all
time favorites. I enjoy the fresh ground coriander mixed with the fresh tasting
full flavor of the living herbs in this salad. The raisins come in to add a
sweetness in every other bite or so; add the nuttiness of the walnuts all mixed
with a dash of Ume and light taste of garlic and you'll hear sounds of yumminess
coming from me with just about every bite. It is so much fun working with foods
that taste great, are so alive, and heal with every mouth full... Life is good.

Directions
Toss salad together well, let it sit for a few minutes, toss
well again to get all the juices coated on all the leaves and wrap it up in
green leaves of choice or for the transitional diet use rice wraps. You can also
