Here is one of my recipes from http://greenchefs.tv

This plate is a very simple Organic Farmers Market Salad with Organic Seitan and Whole Foods 365 Organic Hot Sauce. My own creation. Takes about 2 minutes to make, unless you make your own Seitan. I bought mine at Whole Foods Market in the Local Fresh Food Section.

I started with the Spicy Mix Salad from the Santa Monica Farmers Market. There is stand we go to each week, where they sell nothing but baby leaf salad mixes. This stuff is incredible. The best salads you can get anywhere. I will find out what the different leaves are for you, next time I go. Also, the Farmers Market has most items at half the cost of Whole Foods or other Stores and the produce is usually much better. Not all of the farmers are equal, some have amazing stuff and others, just average. We buy from all the Organic Farmers. The Organic produce is just better for you and it has so much more flavor.

Then I add a few leaves of Red Leaf Lettuce. About 2 or 3 large leaves. You can cut them up or just tear them in to smaller pieces. The leaves are thin and 2 heads of Organic Red Leaf Lettuce only cost about $1.50. Then I added some Organic Green Kale. Again just a one or two leaves. Kale is also about $1.50 for one large bundle.

Next I cut up one stem of Organic Celery, two Organic Tomatoes, one Chive and a half of a Green Organic Bell Pepper.

I then took a good size piece of Organic Seitan and cut it up into strips. Seitan is a wheat gluten patty, a meaty type of item. It taste and feels a lot like chicken with a light soy sauce flavor. It's great to add to dishes if you like to have something heavy in the dish.

On top of all of this, I added Sea Salt and then my favorite Hot Sauce. Whole Foods 365 Organic Hot Sauce. I only use a little, but its great. Makes this salad taste a little more like a Mexican Style Salad. You could add some Pinto Beans too, but I didn't for this one.

The sauce is made of, organic cider vinegar, filtered water, organic cayenne pepper, salt, organic garlic, xanthan, organic spices and spice extract.

Thats its. Basically find a nice bowl and toss it in.

Hi Greenmonkey. Nice to have you here and thank you so much for the recipe. It sounds like it would be delicious!

I am so jealous! We do not have a whole food market near us or even a farmer's market that has anything more than "fresh pork." I kid you not. I guess that's the price we pay for living in the "country," although we are thinking of relocating. I have to do most of my gourmet or organic grocery shopping online, which makes it difficult to get some of the things I really want to try. But one good thing is that my father-in-law is a farmer, so we do get the "normal" fresh veggies and free-range beef.

Anyway, thanks again for sharing the recipe and I hope you stick around the forum.

And I now have my dinner for tonight- thanks so much for this recipe!
