Pressed Salad

This delicious salad preparation is a perfect example of osmosis. Hurrah science!

It is based off of a macrobiotic recipe, and can be enjoyed by all.

This is salad has a super easy prep and tastes great.

NOTE: I had just finished making this salad - according to the directions I describe - and was eating it when I thought "Hey, everyone should know about this." I made another one after that one was gone, but had run out of celery. There is no celery included in the pictures, and the salad tasted significantly different, lacking, because of it.
