Spinach Salad and Smoked Salmon Salad

Ola chica's :)

 

Okay so I've been trying to eat healthy lately and here are some salad and salad dressing recipes for you guys to try

 

Spinach Salad

This is easy peasy and tastes amazing

In a bowl put in baby spinach leave, green olives, rip up slices of sun dried tomato and sprinkle pine nuts.  The oil in the sun dried tomatoes and olives will be enough so all you need to add to this is a sprinkle of rock salt and black pepper....trust me this is sooooooooo yummy I could live on it.

 

Smoked Salmon Salad

 

In a bowl take mesculin lettuce, add sliced red cabbage, red onion rings, carrot rounds,  tomato quarters or cherry tomatoes, sliced green and yellow capsicum and caper berries. 

 

You can buy smoked salmon from the supermarket so that cuts down all the work...just flake that through the salad and dress with my balsamic vinegar dressing below.

 

You can also replace the salmon with tuna...just remember to use plain tuna as the flavoured ones can over power the other flavours. 

 

Have this twice a week and your weekly requirement of omega 3's is done...I'd choose this over those horrible capsules any day hehehe.

 

Balsamic Vinegar Dressing

Ingredients:

Good quality balsamic vineagr (investing in this will really pay off)

Olive Oil

Honey

Wholegrain mustard

Salt

Pepper

 

Mix all these in a bottle....approximately you add 2 table spoons of honey for every 8 tablespoons of vinegar...oil i just put in to help coat the entire mixture so not too much.  The wholegrain mustard should be enough that the dressing becomes almost like a paste rather than runny, so my vinegar : honey : mustard ratio is 8:2:4 tablespoons.  This dressing also keeps in the fridge for upto 3 months so make a batch and keep it and that way it becomes so much easier to put dinner together. This is a really simple tangy dressing.

 

I've also got a meatball recipe and a recipe for thai fishcakes...that's coming up in the next mail...

 

Love ya lots
