One of my measurements for knowing if a recipe is good enough to post is if I eat it for two meals in two days. I did that with this and would have done it for three but sadly, I ran out. It's delicious and digested so well! After eating the salad variation for dinner last night, my tongue looked absolutely gorgeous this morning when I went to do my tongue scraping. The recipe for these vegetables comes from fellow San Franciscan Heidi Swanson at 101 Cookbooks. I had bookmarked the recipe what feels like ages ago, but hadn't gotten to it until I had the perfect opportunity. Cue Easter weekend with my boyfriend's family; did I mention there's a professional candy maker in his family? You can imagine the trouble I was in. So when I got home from this weekend of indulgence (even Ayurvedis let themselves go once in a while), I knew my body needed some digestive spices in short order. This was incredibly delicious and exactly what my body needed. I hope your body (digestion & taste buds) love it as much as mine did!

My favorite ways to eat them so far:
(1) to top a salad with a yogurt-lemon juice-EVOO dressing
(2) with two sunny side up eggs with fresh parsley, a mini-salad (with non-yogurt dressing) and toast
- Vata: Great but beware the raw greens. Massage them well with the dressing.
- Pitta: Omit red chili flakes, use minimal salt. Better with asparagus, kale and squash. If eating with eggs, use egg whites.
- Kapha: Reduce oil to the lightest coating on the vegetables (2.5 T or so). Use any veg but root vegetables. Skip egg option. Try yours over blanched mustard greens.
