- Try to select restaurants that serve fresh green salads. Vietnamese, Italian & Mexican restaurants are great place to dine.
- Mexican restaurants usually have homemade guacamole, salsas, pico de gallo and fresh salads.
- Italian restaurants have extra virgin olive oil, lemons and typically will offer “raw” vinaigrette and raw veggies.
- Steak restaurants are also a great choice; I know I did say “steak”! The higher end places that offer high quality a la carte everything. They typically do “made to order” vegetable sides and often you could order a side of lemons and olive oil, it’s delicious.
- Order double orders of salad.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Ask for extra veggies on the side or with your salad.
- When in doubt pack a raw bar or snack, which helps with temptation.
- Check menus and even call ahead to inquire about specials not listed to take the anxiety out of ordering.
- Order a fruit smoothie or juice to start. If you are driving to meet friends or clients make a super drink/ smoothie and drink it on the way to your destination.
- Inquire about cold soups, sometimes they are 100% raw.
- Bring a mini bottle of your own delicious raw salad dressing, you’re friends will end up wanting to try yours!
- A side of fresh avocado goes a long way accompanied with a fresh green salad.
- Bring your own raw hummus and order fresh carrots, cucumbers and celery. It travels well and can be discreetly placed on your veggie plate.
