Preparation
1. Put the sliced onion in a small bowl with the lime juice to soak for at least 10 minutes. If you do this ahead of time, leaving it to soak for an hour or more creates an even softer, sweeter, pinker result
2. Scoop the seeds out of the cucumbers with a teaspoon and throw the seeds into your blender; chop the cucumbers
3. In a large bowl, arrange the leaves, cucumber, carrot and radish. Take the onion out of the lime juice and add this to the salad too
4. Add to the blender the left-over lime juice, avocado, vinegar, cayenne, honey, herbs and salt. Blend until smooth; you may need to add a dash of water to facilitate blending. Adjust seasoning to taste
5. Dollop dressing generously on your salad, mix through before eating
Special Note:
Onions and arugula are high in sulfur, a beautifying mineral which cleanses the liver and skin. Additionally, radishes and cucumber are high in silica, which is necessary for the strengthening and moisturizing of hair, skin and nails.
