Try new flavours with your beef and place on top of your salad. Make your meals exciting and fun.
If you have had coleslaw all your life with mayonnaise then it is time for a change. This truly is a refreshing and healthy salad. You will love it.
This is a middle Eastern salad. High in Nutrients because of the chickpeas, black beans and apple cider vinegar ( this vinegar turns into an alkaline once digested.)
I used a mixture of Quinoa, Brown Rice and Black Rice.
Quinoa is pronounced Keen- wah . It is '' the mother of all grains '' so the Inca Empire have said. It comes in three colours - red, black and white.
Quinoa - Protein, Iron, Zinc, Copper, Magnesium, Folate and Fibre.
Brown Rice - Vitamin B3, Copper, Selenium, magnesium, Phosphorus.
Black Rice - Contains essential amino acid - Lysine, Tryptophan, Vitamins - B1, B2, folic acid, Minerals - Iron, Zinc, Calcium and Phosphorus.
I love my herbs. They die off over Winter because of our harsh Winters. I love it when Spring comes and they all pop up again and I had not done anything to them. Herbs are full of nutrition and should be used in your meals every day when available.
This salad is a full meal. You do not have to use meat or feta but it goes nicely with the smoked paprika dressing. There is a big difference in taste between roasting a red pepper and a raw red pepper. The smoked red pepper has become flavoured with its natural rich oil once the skin has been removed.
A salad with lots of texture with a dressing that will give you your dose of apple cider vinegar.
Need to take lunch to school or work. This is a fresh clean way to take your lunch. Make any type of salad, place in jars, without the dressing and place in the fridge for the next few days. Fun and easy to eat. Dressing can be taken in a separate little jar.
My favourite way to eat chard is raw, and adding soya beans, these super little gems give a nice colour and texture to this salad.
This is one of my favourite salads at the moment. The hint of mint is really refreshing. Spaghetti courgettes are fun to eat, and another creative way to eat them.
Its time to be creative and try new foods. Burghul wheat is so quick to prepare, its filling and with the pomegranate molasses, it gives a rich flavour that you will enjoy.
It is the beginning of Spring and we have snow all over the ground. The fire is on and my mind is thinking of how I can use some of the Puy lentils I have cooked in my fridge ( I also have a few bags in my freezer ) Thinking of what is growing in my greenhouse, I know I have lots of beetroot and I have a block of Halloumi cheese to use up. (you could, of course, use feta instead).
