Pink salmon salad

PASSERS-BY on the sidewak, relish their new guilty-pleasure - raw salads, prepared daily by Ashton, aka, the sidewalk playboy. Some of them have a raw; fruit or vegetable, salad, EVERY DAY. It's their new honey. No other dietary source of sweetness will do. Eat your heart out.

(Yvette walk briskly on sidewalk, Brad emerges from a sidewalk stall and steps in front of her. Gross!)

As we speak, Ashton, the dapper sidewalk playboy, is making a kick-ass - to-die-for, Raw Salmon salad. He expects passers-by who have first servings, to be tempted into to having second servings.

(altercation breaks out between two groups of pedestrians. Group B's power walk is halted when they find it impossible to pass Group A, ambling in front, reading newspaper, texting, swaying from side to side on the sidewalk. extra flavor! yummy treat!)

In a large bowl, Ashton mixes together the following fresh,  RAW foods:

crushed red pepper, pounded peanuts, kale, mint, Kelp noodles, finely-chopped spring onions aka scallions, asparagus, shredded zucchini, peeled and grated carrots, chopped chilli, avocado, pine nuts, tomatoes, raw onion, crushed garlic, cumin seeds, baby spinach, onion powder, and of course, heaps of raw crumbled raw pink salmon.

(Pedestrian walk away quickly after his dog finished sh*tting on the sidewalk. TASTELESS! Another pedestrian shout Are you gonna pick that up? then offered the culprit  a plastic bag to put the MESS in. Serve him....right)

Over that mixture, the amused sidewalk playboy drizzles a mixture of raw honey, Himalayan rock salt olive oil and lemon juice and lime juice and rice vinegar. Stir frantically. Then place the bowl in the refrigerator to marinate for TWO HOURS


(LATER - sidewalk's lunch time)


Happiness is written all over the faces of those devouring it now. Even a sidewalk worker who earlier admitted his disdain for raw baby spinach. Yuck!

This salad is to-die-for, Ashton. I’ll have one for lunch every day at work.

ASHTON

Soon, you’ll forget that tiresome pastry desserts were your ultimate guilty pleasures

(jokingly) Were they?

quickie salads

YOU don't want to be in the same boat as Osbourne; aka the sidewalk playboy; the doyenne of tastefully raw sidewalk salads, It's hours before lunch time, yet hundreds of hungry, newly raw-salad-fanatical passers-by are queuing up for sidewalk salads. What the HELL! Converting the once die-hard pastry lovers to raw food lovers was astonishingly easy. However, keeping up with their new crave is going to be flipping HARD.

 
Rustling up a quick salad, OSBOURNE is laterally experimenting with a nice blend of RAW ingredients - salad greens, alfalfa sprouts, avocado, carrot, ginger, lemons, tofu, apple, red and yellow bell peppers, summer squash, almonds and zucchini.

 
This lot will increase fibre in their diets. He grate the apples and combined them with all the other thinly-sliced vegetables in a large bowl.

 
Osbourne whisks together - raw honey (to counteract the sour lemon juice) lemon juice, and raw mango chutney, sea salts, balsamic vinegar. Then he pours this mixture over the vegetables in the large bowl.

 

He’s supposed to now, place the finished salad in the refrigerator for at least an hour or so. Unfortunately, to avoid a boisterous uproar, he will have to skip this fundamental step this time.

 

OSBOURNE: (to the first person – in the line)

 

Delicious! Wow. This a lovely, healthy salad. You will LOVE it



Dzhokhar: (enthusiastically)

Sounds Amazing
