This is one of the best raw food books I’ve read. Mimi’s recipes are
elegant and gourmet, but they’re also very simple and easy to make.

To make the Simple Mediterranean
Salad … place the vegetables in a bowl and sprinkle generously with
extra-virgin olive oil, lemon, salt, and pepper. Let salad rest for
15-20 minutes to meld flavors together.

Taste for salt and pepper and adjust if necessary. Flavors should be lemony and light. 

Serve on chilled lettuce leaves.
