RAY PEAT CARROT SALAD

1. Gather ingredient. I like to use rainbow carrots because the purple and white one have less carrot flavor. Also they have far less carotene. I usually use apple cider vinegar in the carrot salad, but I was in the mood for a little lemon this time.

2. Peel the carrots. With the peeler go up and down the carrot without lifting the peeler to make ribbons. This salad use to take me way too long to make until I figured this way out. Put the carrots in a bowl.

3. Add in a couple of teaspoons of good olive oil and a big pinch of flaky finishing salt, like Maldon.

4. Squeeze in some fresh lemon or a teaspooon of apple cider vinegar and enjoy!

One thing I didn't realize, until recently, is that having the carrot salad with food depletes the nutrients in the other foods. So it is important to have this salad away from food by at least an hour before food and no food an hour after, so it can have a clear place to do it's job. This salad is a great cure for constipation, a white coated tongue and puffy eyes. In the link I posted below it talks about the very different benefits of each color of carrot.

Red Dandelion Ice Cubes

1. Wash and trim off half of the stems of one bunch of red dandelion.

2. In a nonreactive pot, bring 2 cups of filtered water to a boil. Add in the dandelion and boil and stir for two minutes. Turn off heat and let steep and cool for 5 minutes.

3. Add in maybe a half cup more of COLD water and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Transfer dandelion and it's liquids to a blender and pulse a few times to break up the dandelion.

4. Strain through a wire sieve into an ice cube tray and freeze.

5. When ready to use, add two or three dandelion ice cubes in a tall glass, and because the dandelion is bitter, I add a sweet frozen fruit like pineapple to the glass too, and maybe a sprig of fresh mint, then fill the glass with water and enjoy. This is how you get your vitamin K1.

Baby Yukon Gold Potato, Watercress & Lemon Salad

1. Gather ingredients. I am using a lemon extra virgin olive oil to drizzle when serving, but any mild or fruity olive oil will do. Use the tiniest potatoes as they have much more sugar than starch. A lot of the starch that is in them will get thrown out in the boiling water.

2. Peel and boil the tiny potatoes on a gentle boil for about 25 minutes, with lid off, just until fork tender. Because these tiny potatoes don't have much starch they can fall apart easily boiling too vigorously or for too long.

3. Drain and rinse briefly under cool water so they stop cooking. When the are cool enough to handle, cut them in half and place in a bowl.

4. Add in the zest of a lemon and some salt and toss and let cool down further. Tear the watercress into smaller pieces.

5. Drizzle 1.5 teaspoons of liquid coconut oil, or olive oil, on the potatoes and toss. Top with the watercress and drizzle 1.5 teaspoons of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon on them and toss again. Serve after plating with an extra drizzle of olive oil.


“When a person has limited money for food, potatoes are a better staple than beans or oats. Starches associated with saponins, alkaloids, and other potentially pro-inflammatory things make them a less than ideal food, if you have digestion-related health problems, and if you can afford to choose. New potatoes are tastier, less starchy, and probably less likely to cause digestive irritation.” -Ray Peat

"Watercress is low in calories but packs a vast array of nutrients.

Nutrient density is a measure of the nutrients a food contains in relation to how many calories it provides. Therefore, watercress is an extremely nutrient-dense food.

In fact, it’s ranked number one on the US Centers for Disease Control’s Powerhouse Fruits and Vegetables list (2Trusted Source).

One cup (34 grams) of watercress contains the following (3):

Calories: 4
Carbs: 0.4 grams
Protein: 0.8 grams
Fat: 0 grams
Fiber: 0.2 grams
Vitamin A: 22% of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI)
Vitamin C: 24% of the RDI
Vitamin K: 106% of the RDI
Calcium: 4% of the RDI
Manganese: 4% of the RDI

As you can see, one cup (34 grams) of watercress provides over 100% of the RDI for vitamin K, a fat-soluble vitamin necessary for blood clotting and healthy bones (4Trusted Source).

Watercress also contains small amounts of vitamin E, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and copper (3)."

Tart Cherry & Orange Marmalade Compote

#1 Gather ingredients. I used a BPA free can of tart cherries and a locally made marmalade without pectin.

#2 Drain the cherry juice into a non reactive pot and add 1/2 cup of orange marmalade and 1/2 cup of sugar and bring to a boil. Boil for about 20 minutes until it starts reducing.

#3 Add the cherries and the zest of two oranges and boil for another 20 minutes. Cool, then chill before serving.

You can eat a little bowl of this before bedtime for good sleep or serve it with meats, as an upscale substitute for cranberry sauce. Ray Peat calls marmalade a "super drug" and says it good for many ailments, especially inflammation. Enjoy!

"According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), just one tablespoon of orange peel contains 14 percent of your daily allotment of vitamin C. That’s nearly three times as much vitamin C per tablespoon than the inner fruit."
