I’ve been having problem ever since I updated my Explorer. I have discovered that if you click on the YouTube link in the right hand column under where it says “Let’s Be Friends”, I get access to all the shows, present and past. I hope this helps you folks who are having issues because I’d hate for you to miss the wonderful information that is in the shows!

8:47 pm on August 4th, 2009
My favorite salad ingredient is eggplant. I created a recipe with eggplant called saloup…you can view the video at http://www.reneoswald.com/videos.html (It’s the #2 video) The eggplant tastes like mushrooms in this recipe!

Ok I can’t watch either but I looked at the recipe and WOW man. It looks great but thats food for like three people or maybe for me but for three meals.Is this ment to be one meal??? So how do you get all the iron and calcium without having to eat SO much? I guess I should wait to actually watch the video before asking =)
11:49 pm on August 4th, 2009
Sorry about the mess up!!!
It’s up now

12:04 am on August 5th, 2009
Surprise…I actually could view the video without a problem, and it was great, as usual. Maybe it’s been fixed? I really liked having the nutritional breakdown of the salad, but it did look like a lot for one person to eat in one meal…it would take me a long time.
12:29 am on August 5th, 2009
I could view it but couln’t hear her. Just a few words now and then. Laughing came in loud and clear. ?? Last couple shows have been difficult to hear. Are you to far away from the mike? Look forward to your show every day. Thanks.. Sandi
12:55 am on August 5th, 2009
I loved this video – love salads. I live on an avocado orchard, so avos are commonly in my salads. Also, spinach, tomatoes, olives, more.
I love mixing salads – like adding raw hummus and tabouli to a mixed green. Adds texture!

I had the same-sized salad today that Karin had, but I added a TJ chipotle salsa…it’s too hard to make stuff at an office w/ no sink. Anyway, I love Karin and Rick Dina! Bob and I used to see them often at MarinVegetarians and SFVS events over the years. They’re educational series is the most informative I’ve ever seen AND they are fine folks!

1:28 am on August 5th, 2009
great video..
Tip on salad consumption for all having rough time with what appears as large amount…
Blend part of it in or as the actual dressing…Typically thats how I make my dressings anyway..throw in the blender what u want in your salad…It’s amazing how it shrinks down at least 50% or more..throw a zuchinni/or carrot in for a lighter thickner if nuts are to heavy especially during our hot days..
Yummy, personally I could totally down that salad twice in one sitting.!!!!
Looks great!!Plus also youll surpise yourself making things that taste great!!
2:00 am on August 5th, 2009
I don’t often eat whole green vegetables. They are often either blended in smoothies or juiced. My salad may contain cooked or sprouted bean/pea, sprouted(at least 2 days) sesame seeds, cooked quinoa or amaranth, avocado, carrots, dulse, and tomatoes.
I recently discovered that you could sprout sesame. Up to 1/4 cup of sesame seeds per quart is probably sufficient. You should test a small amount of seeds before attempting a whole batch. Sometimes when you buy seeds and try sprouting them, they smell foul often because they are no longer viable.
When I replace dormant seeds(and even just soaked) with sprouts, it really helped curbed my nut/seed binging habit since they are more satisfying and I don’t feel as tired. I know it’s a bit of work when you sprout.
When I try sprouting high starch seeds, like quinoa, amaranth, and chick peas, they sprout but they also ferment. Has anyone successfully sprouted them before or should I eat use them after the first rince cycle.
2:08 am on August 5th, 2009
Thanks for the great recipe and breakdown. Knowing the protein content would have been great too.
2:23 am on August 5th, 2009
i cannot hear Karin properly..
2:38 am on August 5th, 2009
I seem to make the same or similar salad regularly of Spinach, red & green cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, zuchinni, radishes, sprouts, avocado (sometimes), and a vinegarette.
5:13 am on August 5th, 2009
I watched the video with no problem… I’m using safari so maybe it’s different?
Anyways, I’ll put down my favourite salad which I probably eat everyday.
About 500 grams of baby spinach; 1 diced red onion; 1 avocado chopped up; 2 oranges peeled and cut up; the juice of one lemon and a splash of extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.
I just mix it all together and eat it for dinner every night, it’s simple and I like it.
5:57 am on August 5th, 2009
I also use Safari and have never had any problems with watching or hearing the videos.
It IS a big salad, I would eat half of that.
I once sliced thinly green apple, added wakame and sunflower sprouts and just a simple dressing, lemon and I think flax oil- it was so divine and made me so happy I had to take a picture:).
Usually I put romaine lettuce, avocado, red and orange peppers, some sprouts if I have, and lemon and olive oil. I usually add ground flax and hemp seeds.
Another one I like is I make a dressing of half avocado, 1 small tomato, 2T almond butter and lemon, blend it, and serve it over kombu (the hard green seaweed used for miso soup- needs to be soaked at least half hour). Tastes like walnuts, yummy.
6:56 am on August 5th, 2009
I had two superposed videos. The two audio sounds were mixed up as well. Anyway, I’m sure the problem can be fixed.
I like mixing green and red leaves + cherry tomatoes + 1 cucumber. My favorite is dandelion leaves. When avocados are in season, I’ll chop the half of an avocado and add it to the leaves. The other half is used for the dressing by adding 1 Tsp lemon juice, 2T balsamic vinegar, 1T Olive oil, a sprinkling of salt and pepper for taste and, voilà !
I sometimes add a grated apple to the salad when I notice that my family isn’t eating enough fruits.
7:00 am on August 5th, 2009
Oops, I forgot to thank Kevin, Annmarie and the guest for the great show and the recipe.
Merci beaucoup!
7:25 am on August 5th, 2009
No problem with the video here – I’m using Google Chrome. I love salads. Mache, lots of other mixed greens, thinly slicked raw okra, thinly sliced raw banana peppers, tomatoes, a liberal grind of black pepper and a homemade, garlic vinagrette. Yum.
8:16 am on August 5th, 2009
With the abundance of zucchini, squash, and cucumbers now we have started our dinner with a green smoothie as soup. Usually we have soup OR salad. But that was ONE BIG SALAD. My husband says I make too much when I serve half that amount for the two of us. So our nutritional intake would be 1/4 (each) of what Karin posted. Maybe I will try the nut dressing for a smoother taste.
K. & AM, keep up the good work. I love to start my day with your enthusiastic cheerful greeting.
Blessings,
8:24 am on August 5th, 2009
Great salad, am also a lover of salads in the summer, noticed their was no mention of protein content…. almonds and sunflower seeds are protein, just wondered where the nutrient breakdown is.
thanks for the information

Hi Keven & Anne Marie,
Great episode. I’m doing my masters thesis on raw food athletes and this info only confirms everything I’ve been learning. As a raw foodist athlete I can say that I never worry about my nutrition intake (except B12 and vit. D – it’s gloomy here).
What’s in my salad…
For the first time EVER I have a beautiful garden, so I put organic greens of all types (cups and cups full), cabbage, fresh cilantro, basil, and parsley, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and an Udo’s Oil dressing with himalayan salt, dulse flakes, and cinnamon.

I just gotta say, I LOVE how you guys deliver such quality information without pushing products. You just give, give, give and it makes me want to support you even more.
Thanks again for writing out the recipe. It’s those extra steps that really mean alot! xo
9:27 am on August 5th, 2009
Where is the vitamin B?
10:05 am on August 5th, 2009
Nice looking salad! And with all the fresh produce from my vegetable garden, I can make this tonight!
Thanks for sharing with us.
10:14 am on August 5th, 2009
It stops where you ask what about men who are menstruating!! Please can you make it work, it is so interesting?
Thanks x
10:25 am on August 5th, 2009
OK working
and great as always.
In my favourite salad today is purselane, mixed lettuce, beetroot plus its leaves, sweet corn, tomatoes, spring onions, red and yellow peppers smothered in a sauce made from avocados, yellow and black cherry tomatoes, apple cider vinegar and mustard plus a tiny drop or agave nectar. So yummy and nearly all from the garden, I am abundant!
Thanks!
10:32 am on August 5th, 2009
I have a big salad for lunch everyday.
Spinach or lettuce
cucumbers
sweet red peppers
mushrooms
Broccoli sprouts or sprouts of some sort
Dried cranberries
Salba or chia seed
Hemp hearts
Bee Pollen
pine nuts
1/2 avacado
pea pods (those sweet thick skinned kind)
and a variety of dressings according to the desire of the day.
and I do like a few bits of fresh pamasin cheese.
11:03 am on August 5th, 2009
My salad changes all the time, based on what I have in the frig. I love the dressing idea. I’m going to try that one right away. Nice to know we don’t necessarilly need all those silly suuplements we are used to taking.
11:33 am on August 5th, 2009
This was a great video. My salads vary widely, I do not use oils in any dressings. I always thicken dressings with peeled zucchini.
Yesterday was an italian dressing with romaine, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, onion and kelp noodles.
I am curious to know if it is always necessary to meet the RDA, especially for very small people. I could never eat a salad as large as the one in the video. I am wondering if at 4’10″ tall if my nutrient needs would be lower.
I have just resorted to the idea that if I am healthy and have energy that I’m getting what I need because I don’t think the RDA is a one size fits all.
11:40 am on August 5th, 2009
My “scoop” salads are delicious!
Field greens, red onions, tomatoes, avocado slices, scoop of homemade cilantro humus or lemon artichoke pesto, drizzle of lemon juice and olive oil, sprinkle of Himalayan sea salt and chopped walnuts.
Everything is organic of course!!!
Looks pretty on the plate and I always give thanks!
1:55 pm on August 5th, 2009
Yeah! Awesome c=video and great teleseminar last night! I forgot to weed my small garden for a week and discovered PURSLANE growing rampant! It is such a great wild weed we are leaving it and using it in salads and smoothies!
1:58 pm on August 5th, 2009
We love our salads! There are a few ingredients that are not in our best interest, but we dont do this very often, so its a nice treat when we do.
Spinach
purple onion
apple
cucumber
carrot
avocado
sunflower seeds
pinenuts
garlic (chopped and fried in Ghee) I know horrible, hard to let go of!! They are like crunchy croutons
Usually will have a seared ahi on our salads. We still eat fish for now.
I used to HAVE to have my cheese on this, but have finally let that go!
Since blending green smoothies, we dont do as much salads. Its much easier to blend and drink, and that way I dont put the fried garlic and fish in it!! Hee hee!
3:03 pm on August 5th, 2009
Leafy greens with avocado or seeds a handful or 2 wakame seaweed and a light drizzle of honey with 2-3 garlic. Yum
3:34 pm on August 5th, 2009
sounds like what i wanted to know
4:28 pm on August 5th, 2009
My favorite salad – I have it nearly every day:
2 Kale leaves chopped up (with some sea salt massaged into it to soften)
1 Carrot diced
1/2 Avocado diced
1 Roma Tomato (or other similar size) diced
1 handful (or so) other green (lettuce, cabbage, etc.)
~1/8 cup Onion (your favorite kind) diced
Lemon Juice and Olive Oil for the dressing (about 2 tablespoons of each)
Top with diced pecans
I also sometimes add other veggies that I have – cucumbers, celery, whatever is handy
I love this one!
4:44 pm on August 5th, 2009
HI Kevin and Annmarie – I absolutely love The RHS and I’ve been sending the link out to friends!! You two are inspiring. Great work!
I’m commenting to make a request:
Karin Dina has amazing hair. Can you PLEASE do a video where you ask Karin Dina to talk about eating well for long, shiny, and thick hair? I think this is a common concern for many women, especially in terms of iron, b12, and vitamin/mineral intake on a vegan/raw diet.
I would greatly appreciate it, and I know many others would – please do a video on that topic with Karin Dina while you can talk to her. Thanks!
5:47 pm on August 5th, 2009
My goal each day is to have a glass of fresh veggie juice, a green smoothie, and a salad, before eating other foods.
My daily salad: Lettuces fresh from our garden, tomato, cucumber, grated carrot, a handful of pine nuts or walnuts, avocado, and dressed simply with olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Nothing like a well tossed salad to make my day!
6:15 pm on August 5th, 2009
My salads vary so much (depending on what’s in season), I just don’t have one favorite. Today’s salad (all organic, mostly local) was: romaine, purslane, Mexican gherkins (tiny cucumbers that look like cherry tomato-sized watermelons), watermelon radish, grape tomatoes, ripe pepper, chopped calamata olives, a couple of chopped fresh figs, and a little avocado, simply dressed with great olive oil and Himalayan salt, and topped with a crumble of aged Macadamia cheese. It was so good, I’ll probably have the same thing tomorrow. For my main meal, I’ve got leftover rawvioli with marinara & pesto, which many of my countrymen would consider a salad since it’s all raw vegetables, salad fruits, and soaked/rinsed nuts. I often have sea vegetable (seaweed) salads, and recommend them to all pre-menopausal women for their mineral content, as eating enough seaweed prevents cramps. Health and peace, and thanks to Kevin, Annmarie, Rick, and Karen!
6:33 pm on August 5th, 2009
My favorite ‘enhancers’are any fresh herbs, sea salt, and 1 TBSP green powder, such as Greens Mix from Premier Research Labs.
7:30 pm on August 5th, 2009
Would also like to know re protein content of this salad.
7:47 pm on August 5th, 2009
I have safari & no problem watching this video.
My favorite salad is
Romain lettuce
cherry tomatoes
red pepper
black greek olives
pine nuts
balmsmatic viniger
9:20 pm on August 5th, 2009
This video was awesome! Its great to have a breakdown like that. Now, that is a very big bowl of salad. I eat about 1/2 of that daily. Does anyone else think that is a huge amount? My favorite salad is 4 lettuce, handful of spinach, 1 small cucumber, 1 med carrot, alfalfa sprouts, spring onion, half avocado, and some tomato. The dressing will be whatever i’ve made. Thanks for info!
1:21 am on August 6th, 2009
Good info; something I’ve wondered about. You confirmed my suspicions that good green salads tend to have our nutritional needs covered.
I can get creative but usually eat one or two salads per day approximately the size you have there. I exercise quite a bit so seem to need it. My usual salad contains collards, mustard greens (when I have them), pine nuts or chopped pecans, diced apples, red onions, tomatoes, yellow bell peppers, chicory, arrugula, carrots and maybe zucchini. I also include whatever sprouts may be at hand. For dressing I stay simple: olive oil and apple cider or balsamic vinegar with a spritz of lemon juice, usually.
2:35 am on August 6th, 2009
For all those having trouble watching the vid, switch to Safari on a Mac. No probs. Info not new, but the salad was HUGE and delicious looking.
12:43 pm on August 6th, 2009
A salad of that size equals how many serving?
7:41 pm on August 7th, 2009
Thank you Kevin – that was awesome! – as always. Loved your talk on raw cruciferous vegetables also. It’s important for everyone to know that synthetic iodine is toxic – it is well known that this causes thyroid toxicosis. The best source of naturally occurring iodine is sea vegetables. As a supplement, get a blend of sea vegetables e.g. kelp, dulse, sea lettuce, bladderwrack, etc., in veggie capsules. Always looking forward to the next show.
Love to you and Annemarie (THANKS for all the raw food recipes)
1:33 pm on August 15th, 2009
Great topic and video! Also interested in finding out the protein and calcium content of various greens/lettuces. Switched over from spinach to kale in my green smoothies since somewhere on the web it said that kale was better (for calcium.)
In my salad:
- usually spring mix, sometimes romaine
- tomato
- cucumber
- red bell pepper
- brocco sprouts
- red cabbage
- carrot
- sometimes mung bean sprouts and radishes
- sometimes raw sunflower seeds
Dressing: either flax oil with apple cider vinegar (basic)
or I’ll blend the above with 1/2 cucumber, 1 tsp mustard powder, 1 tsp celtic salt, and 1 whole avocado for dressing that I’ll use up over several days.
9:28 am on November 13th, 2009
No problem watching here, I have Firefox.
My favorite salad is either a Caesar salad (with the Caesar dressing of course!) or one with lettuce, celery carrots with cottage cheese on top in place of dressing!
