High raw rice salad
What on earth is a “high raw” salad anyway? Well, high raw basically means “mostly raw”.
In other words, a high percentage of the ingredients are raw, so you know you’re eating as much raw food as possible.
This particular high raw rice salad was created after I read “The Starch Solution” by Dr John McDougall.
His approach to healthy eating involves eating as much low-fat, high-carbohydrate (starchy), vegan food as you like, and there are plenty of people who’ve lost heaps of weight and, more importantly, healed all kinds of illnesses and medical conditions by following his guidelines.
So when we’re looking for ways recently to increase our calories without adding more fat to our diet, this was one of the ideas we tried.
