Lemon Plum Salad with a Poppy Seed Dressing

Lemon Plum Salad
Poppy seed dressing
 3 tablespoons raw sesame tahini
1 tablespoon raw honey
 1 tablespoon poppy seeds, or more to taste
 Juice of 1/2 lime
 1 ripe lemon plum – pitted
 4 tablespoons fresh coconut water or purified water
 sea salt to taste
 1 tablespoon macadamia nut oil (optional)

Blend all the ingredients with the exception of macadamia nut oil in a high-speed blender. Add the oil in at the end of the process, with the blender still running. Store in the refrigerator until needed.

Candied Walnuts
(adapted from Raw Food/Real World)
2 cups walnuts – soaked for 1 hour
1/4 cup maple syrup powder
1/4 cup raw honey or agave syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon sea salt

Toss all the ingredients in a bowl. Spread on Teflex-lined dehydrator trays and dehydrate at 115F for about 12 hours or until crisp.


Assembly
Arrange the fresh salad greens on a plate, followed by slices of ripe lemon plums and a couple of scoops of cashew cheese (optional). Top with the dressing and candied walnuts, sprinkle with poppy seeds. Enjoy.

Hi! Just to let you know – there are no poppy seeds in the “poppy seed dressing” ingr list?

I love how creamy your poppyseed dressing looks! I’ve always sworn that I hate poppyseed dressing, but I think it’s just the scary translucent color of the store bought kind that has me running! I might have to try this one though, as I do love poppyseeds

Thanks so much for your comments, everyone! I know it’s tough to find plums right now, but get creative and find some sort of yummy substitute :)

I’ve never seen lemon plums before! The salad is so cheerful and bright, I can’t wait to give this a try! Also, I’m intrigued by this thought of limiting expressed oils and eating the whole food. Thanks for sharing!

To Elizabeth: If you read Golubka’s post well, what she is trying to bring across is, look around, get inspired by what you find and what is in season and prepare your own creative salad from it. If you don’t have the plums, you might find another interesting exciting fruit that is just ripe and in season and smiles at you, take it and take her recipe as an inspiration to create your own :-)
