Best Chinese Green Bean Salad By Dr Andrew Weil Recipes
CHINESE GREEN BEAN SALAD BY DR ANDREW WEIL
from his website. He writes, "This bright green, crunchy salad is bursting with Asian flavors and is so easy to prepare. Look for fresh, plump organic green beans if you can find them. Cook them until they are bright green and still crunchy-tender. At this point you can keep the green beans refrigerated. Toss them with the dressing just before serving or the acid in the dressing will dull the bright green color."

ROBUST BEET SALAD BY DR ANDREW WEIL
Found this online. My crowd is big on beets and big on things with a hot kick. This looks very promising. Hope to try it soon. If you don't like to boil beets, you can surely roast them instead (yum), or, if in a pinch for time, use canned beets.

- Drain the beets under cool running water. Slip off their skins. Trim off stems and root ends and slice the beets thinly.
- Combine the sliced beets in a bowl with the other ingredients, add salt to taste, and chill. Stir several times.
- This salad will keep for a week in the refrigerator.

PICKLED VEGETABLES
A refrigerator pickle, it makes a great, nutritious snack and the liquid makes a good salad dressing. From Dr. Andrew Weil and Rosie Daley's "The Healthy Kitchen". Blanching and shocking the veggies helps them to retain crispness and crunchiness while still absorbing the liquid. They require different blanching times; jicama requires no blanching.

DR. ANDREW WEIL'S GRILLED OR BROILED SALMON
This recipe is based on one from Dr. Andrew Weil's book, 8 Weeks to Optimum Health. Use wild salmon for optimum health benefits as it tastes better and is more nutritious, and eating it does not have the environmental impact of eating farmed salmon, nor the health risks associated with it. Cook time doesn't include the 1-3 hours marinating time in the 'fridge. This makes a great meal with rice and a cooked vegetable or salad.
