Edited Oct. 21. Looking back on this, I don't think I would recommend this recipe. I was trying to eat raw for a week. But it was work to chew all these vegetables. Well, maybe I'll try it again next summer.
Ingredients:
about 8 okras
corn from one cob or about 1 cup frozen
1 chopped piece of celery
1 chopped carrot
1/2 green pepper, chopped
some pineapple pieces if you have them, I cut about, um, 2/3 cup from a fresh pineapple. if you don't have pineapple, um, maybe a bunch of pieces from a peeled orange? or an apple sliced up? or a chopped date? or nothing.
part of an onion chopped. this was a good addition to my surprise.
1/2 lemon squeezed or less (mine wasn't juicy)
some herbs if you have them: I had chives, rosemary, parsley, basil, a little of each
Chop everything up and combine it. I let it sit in the fridge for about an hour to see if the flavors blended at all--that's why I added lemon, to marinate it a bit. I didn't really notice but it might taste better if you let it sit for a few hours. I chose the ingredients because a lot of them came from a gumbo recipe, but it was too hot to make gumbo. I didn't make a big salad because I didn't know how it would taste but I actually liked it.
