Recently I’ve been obsessed with salad. No, not iceberg salad, sliced tomato and cucumber with Kraft Italian dressing. Those days are over. I’m talking colourful and flavourful salads that you actually really want to eat.
Since we’ve been on a rampage lately, devouring one or two bowls daily, I’ve got several tasty combinations in store for you, so stay tuned.
But first things first. I present to you my arugula salad with green grapes and walnuts. Pretty, don’t you think?
The tingly arugula and red onion are perfectly balanced by the sweet grapes and the smooth avocado. And the dressing requires no preparation whatsoever.
I like to top off my salads with a handful of alfalfa and fresh herbs, for a flavour punch. Then I sprinkle about a tablespoon of hemp seeds for a healthy dose of protein and omega-3.
Go ahead, make peace with salad :)
