In this second Alkaline Recipe Video, new Energise contributor, Chef Sal shows us how to make his delicious raw alkaline Red Pepper Sauce – which is the finishing touch to last week’s recipe Alkaline Zucchini Wheels with Pesto.
It also can be prepared separately, as a soup or garnish for another dish.

I’m a sucker for Mexican and this lettuce tacos dish is a must try because it’s darn delicious and very alkaline.

I love this rice as a side to an alkaline ‘steam fry’/stir fry or just some steamed veggies with a Thai-style dressing. It’s not 100% alkaline of course, so keep this as part of your 30% non-alkaline in your meal.
It is full of fiber is really helpful in helping to cleanse through the digestive system and it all helps to satiate and keep us fuller for longer. It helps us detoxifies and acts like a sweep that cleanses out body.
This is a great example of doing something a little bit funky with your food to make alkaline meals more enjoyable

Chickpeas are a hit with me. Known to our American friends as Garbanzo beans – they are tasty, filling and perfect for this dish.
Most people don’t realise that chickpeas are also pretty darn healthy, and are full of fibre – which makes them great for digestion, as well as manganese (an alkaline mineral), folate and importantly for all your gym-going-athletes out there – protein.

A super tasty dish is this simple yet full of flavour! Tofu is known as a very good source of protein – especially for those who work out and want to live alkaline. Also we have the Brazil nuts which are packed with vitamins, anti-oxidants and minerals – and while these are not the most alkaline of the nuts, they are OK in quantities like this.

It’s official, I LOVE tumeric! I wish I had discovered how much I love it a lot earlier, especially now I know how good it is for you!
Tumeric has long been used in Indian cuisine (it’s the colour that stains you, your clothes, your mouth, your kitchen etc! – I’ve lost many shirts to the tumeric glow!) – but tumeric is also a wonderfully healthy spice that I have recently incorporated heavily in my cooking.
In fact, it is featured quite a bit in my Alkaline Diet Recipe Book & I will be using it even more now!

It’s been a while since my last tip, but I tend to post them as I think of them, or as I invent them rather than trying to force the issue. It’s just the way I work. As you know, I live the alkaline diet myself and am constantly learning and looking to improve my lifestyle so you get these alkaline diet tips as soon as I get them! This is 100% real, baby.

DELICIOUS! I love this dip. It is so quick and easy to make and contains a heap of the wonderful nutrients I always look for in my day: omega 3, omega 6, fibre, iron, protein, selenium and the wonderfully alkaline minerals potassium, manganese, calcium & magnesium. Not only are avocados a potent source of monounsaturated fatty acids including oleic acid, which has recently been proven to offer significant protection against breast cancer, but it is also a very concentrated dietary source of the carotenoid lutein; it also contains measurable amounts of related carotenoids (zeaxanthin, alpha-carotene and beta-carotene) plus significant quantities of tocopherols (vitamin E).

This is one of my favourite dishes, as it is very wholesome, delicious and alkaline at the same time.
Lentils are not only delicious but are also packed with high levels of proteins and contain dietary fiber, folate, Vitamin B1, and minerals. Apart from that they are also one of the best vegetable sources of iron.
This dish makes a great main course or accompaniment with healthy fish like salmon.
Just try it and enjoy!

This is a wonderful salad filled with surprisingly delightful textures and flavours and has become one of my favourites in the past few weeks. Even though it is snowing where most of you are, this will bring some summer to your table!
The genius of serving it in a tortilla bowl is just, quite frankly, mindblowing. I love it! It is an idea I stole while I was on a cruise the other week (random, I know – but it was the cheapest way to get from Europe to the States – I actually MADE money!) and since then I’ve tried it a few times and loved it more each time.

This is a great quick, filling, raw, protein-filled, alkaline-rich, slow-release-energy, colourful powerhouse of a meal! Every time I have it I leave the table filled, satisfied and it keeps me going for HOURS! The combination of textures with the quinoa is great. This was also my introduction to quinoa and I use it more than any other grain now. It is superb!
This is a new one for me and it is DELICIOUS. It is so quick and easy too. The cumin is so delicious combined with the tomato and the rice adds a wicked texture. It is filling and warming on a cold winter’s day.
