I was going to call these salads "6WP in a bowl" because they include everything Dr. Fuhrman recommends in his 6-week plan (from his book Eat to Live). But they started turning into what I felt were masterpieces, because of my layered approach, and it reminds me of the geologic layers of the Grand Canyon, which I happen to be visiting this week. So I call them Grand Canyon Salads. I start by putting fruit in the bottom. I bought 6 days worth of food at the Whole Foods in Albuquerque so I got fruit with staying power: oranges, apples, and bananas. So one orange, one apple, and 1 banana gets cut up and put into 3 large bowls (breakfast, lunch and dinner, yes I am boring). I top that with a can of no-salt beans. Then spinach, arugula, lettuce, and kale. Then 1 Tbsp of fruit-infused vinegar in each bowl. Then scallions, mushrooms, seed mixture, red cabbage, then 1 Tbsp of fruit-infused balsamic vinegar, then broccoli and cauliflower. Then smash down and put the lids on. Oh, on the first day I had a tomato and used strawberries and banana for the fruit. Here's what one looks like:
