Ingredients

1 C fresh Peas, cut into 1 inch pieces (leave them in the pod)
1 Avocado
1 head Swiss chard (red or green)
1 handful Salad greens
1 Red pepper, chopped
1 small Zucchini, julienned
1 small Cucumber, sliced
1 large Carrot, sliced
1-2 Tbs fresh Dill, finely chopped
1-2 Tbs fresh Basil, julienned
1/4 C raw Pecans, chopped
1-2 Tbs raw Sunflower seeds 2 Tbs dark Raisins

Instructions

For the salad: Wash and spin the Swiss chard until dry. Repeat with salad greens. Peel and
roughly cut the avocado. Add to greens in salad bowl and mush with your hands until the
avocado has coated the greens. This softens the greens, especially the chard and it helps
the dressing bind to the greens. Put into salad bowl along with other ingredients. Toss
with your favourite dressing and serve.
