HELENS 15 EURO SALAD

Constipation, diverticulosis, bowel cancer, misery - fixed in a flash!

Helen's, of course. The internet is not grammar friendly. Yet.

While I was attending chiropractic school, Helen started taking an interest in nutrition. In particular, how to cure Bernie's constipation, a life-long problem. I still have haunting memories of embarrassing enemas as a child, of being told I could not leave the WC until I'd done my bit. Of bleeding fissures whenever I attended the john and, sorry to be so graphic, stools that were 18" long and 2" thick. Of stabbing pains in the lower abdoman that would make me double over.

Well, it wasn't long before Helen came home triumphant: she had the formula to cure Bernard Preston. And, indeed, she did,f but not with Chiropractic! Helen's 5 dollar salad, as it was known in those days, within a week fixed 28 years of gastronomic and anal suffering.

You see, it's not rocket science. Constipation, haemarrhoids, anal fissures, diverticulosis, colon cancer all have at their foundation a lack of fibre in the diet. All I had to do was to stuff some rabbit food down my throat and all that suffering ceased. Believe you me, it's true, this recipe will work miracles for you too. I'm the living proof, it's no exaggeration. If it doesn't, then throw in a pickled beet.

The formula has changed somewhat over the years, but at the bottom of it all, is more fibre. It works.

Minute 6: Pickling olives, hummus, dips

Obviously preparing your olives, humus and dips will have to be done ahead of time. Mostly they can be in a jiffy too. Except the hummus, you have to soak the Chickpeas Garbanzo bean dip ingredients overnight. There are so many delicious dips you can use to go with Helens 15 euro salad. We love Baba Ghannoush in particular. That, too, you can make in less than ten minutes. BABA GHANNOUSH ... a delish eggplant dip.

Minute 7: Add your protein

We like smoked salmon. It's not cheap, but because it needs no cooking, and you only need a small portion and it's full of Omega-3 essential fatty acids, smoked salmon makes the perfect protein to go with Helen's 15 euro salad. Sliced cold beef, chicken pieces, smoked ham, cold leg of mutton would do just as nicely.

Eet smakelijk, as we say in Holland. Enjoy!
