This recipe is a hard-core-simple standard that you can use every single day to create a 100% raw, living, and maximally nutritious meal. You can make it on-the-go or at work (just leave out the Orange Blossom water, or keep a bottle on hand at your desk), and you can enjoy it as a satisfying and explosively flavorful, totally juiceified meal at the end of your day!

There is no end to the variations you can apply, as well. How many fruits are on the planet? How many different nuts & seeds? Truly, you can make this as sweet or tart, as unctuously rich or delicately light as you’d like. You can gently salt the nuts you add, by sprinkling them with a bit of water and tossing them with a quality, super-mineralized natural salt (like Himalayan Crystal salt), creating an explosion of sweet, juicy, salty, creamy, floral, and crunch all in one bowl!

And the orange blossom water… heaven. If you’ve never tried it, you simply must, as by now you know that I use it quite frequently. And while you’re add it, pick up a matching bottle of rose water, and you’ll have yet another fragrant combination for your raw and living food recipe arsenal!

Recipe for: Avocado-Fruit Salad with Orange Blossom Water

(With Variations On A Theme, To Enjoy Every Day…)

If you want to short-cut this for convenience, pick up a container of freshly cut fruit from your local grocery store. These days, even convenience stores and corporate cafeterias tend to offer a range of pre-cut fruits.

If you’re using whole fresh fruit, mix it up! Use citrus, berries, melons, pineapple, durian, peaches, plums, kiwi… well, pretty much the entire planet of fruits is game.

For nuts, my fave is pistachios, which I like to salt myself by moistening with a bit of water and tossing with some really good natural salt, then leave out to dry before putting up for storage. But walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cashews, macadamias… again… you’ve got the planet of nuts and seeds to choose from.

If you want to add another dimension, add some dried cherries, goji berries, or even some quality sun-cured black olives!
