Carrot and Ginger Salad

Do you know what's awesome? Ginger. This stimulating spice has so many health benefits, it makes my head spin! To name a few, ginger has been known to enhance digestion, decrease nausea and vomiting, soothe coughs and chest infections, relieve headaches, migraines, and painful periods, invigorate the reproductive system (that's why it's an aphrodisiac), reduce blood pressure and cholesterol, enhance clarity of the mind, inhibit free radicals, and slow down the aging process!

With that said, let's whip together a delicious miracle-food lunch!

Food process a nice size chunk of ginger. You'll have to scrape off the skin first, I do so by using the backside of a butter knife. It should come off rather easily.
Then, attach the shredding blade onto your food processor and shred 4-6 carrots.

Place the ginger and carrots into a mixing bowl and add:
A scoop of raw honey
2 tablespoons of raw agave nectar
2 tablespoons of cold-pressed olive oil
A handful of sun-dried raisins
A handful of chopped apple
A handful of crushed raw pecans
A tablespoon of ground cinnamon

Mix it all up, and enjoy the invigoration ;)
