Source Family's Rainbow Salad

It sounds bizarre, but it is truly delicious. And it is filling in a way many raw foods are not. This salad, in premise, uses all the colors of the rainbow. It was said in the Source that you could eat this salad once in the morning and once in the evening, for three weeks, as some kind of purifying "Rainbow Diet" that would also keep you healthy. Again, I am no nutritionist, who knows if that is true. I have lived off it a few days and felt great. To make the Rainbow Salad, you put the following things into a bowl: Sprouts (Green), cubed pieces of raw Eggplant (blue), sliced Red Onion (purple), sliced Banana (yellow), chopped Hazelnuts (orange), and chopped Tomatoes (red). Now in a bowl, mash an avocado with minced garlic. (You can also add tamari, Dr. Bronner's Seasoning Salts, brewer's yeast, etc., if desired). Now spread mashed avocado/garlic over the salad like dressing and eat.
