orzo, spinach and chicken salad


orzo, chicken and spinach saladCraving a dinner that is delicious, nutritious, and simple to make?

This salad is a full meal. It contains all the nutrients you need at one time.

The first time i tried this salad was in an italian restaurant. I loved it and decided to do it at home, and the result came tastier!

Ingredients (for 4 people)

  • orzo pasta 500g
  • grilled chicken breast 400g
  • fresh spinach 350g (chopped)
  • feta cheese 80g (cut in small cubes)
  • 2 medium tomatoes (cut in medium cubes)
  • olives 50g
  • roasted pine seeds (a handful)

Dressing: lemon and olive oil

Why lemon? because there’s a compound in spinach called oxalic acid, which blocks the absorption of calcium and iron. An easy way to solve this problem is to pair spinach with a food high in vitamin C.

beetroot and goat cheese salad


beetroot and goat cheese saladWant to beat a hangover? Try this salad with beetroot.

Beetroots are known to be a hangover cure due to Beta cyanin, the pigment that gives its colour.

Beta cyanin is an antioxidant that speeds up detoxification in your liver, which enables your body to turn the alcohol into a less harmful substance that can be excreted quicker than normal.

This without forgetting that rocket is a detoxifying and pine seeds are an excellent source of energy. I would call this, a power salad!

Ingredients:

  • rocket leaves
  • goat cheese
  • beetroot
  • pine seeds

You can have it with either balsamic sauce or lemon mayo.

I wish you a life full of energy!

halloumi aubergine salad


401269_10152288738955463_450930106_nTo begin, eggplants are not vegetables but fruits and to take it one step further, a berry to be exact.

I love aubergine especially when they are combined with halloumi. This salad is very simple and yummy.

Mix greens, grilled halloumi and grilled aubergine, 3 ingredients salad. Easy and fast to prepare it for a healthy dinner.

I like it with lemon and olive oil dressing. For a tastier lemon dressing add a pinch of brown sugar. It makes a difference.
