Since it’s a gorgeous sunny day here in White Rock (BC), I thought I would share one of awesome salad recipes from the Salad challenge (and the E-BOOK) This is my favourite way of eating, just some simple ingredients in a pretty bowl:) Filled with nutrient dense and delicious ingredients to keep me energized and shining bright:) Enjoy!
Bright and Sunny Salad Bowl
(makes 2 servings)
- Big handful spinach (or more)
- Handful cherry tomatoes
- 1 carrot
- 2 slices of red onion
- 4 artichoke hearts
- ½ avocado
- Dollop of hummus (or another dip you love)
- Handful cilantro or parsley
Dijon Dressing:
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup camelina oil (or olive oil)
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 Tbsp water
- 1 tsp raw honey
- 2 Tbsp fresh dill or 1/4 tsp dried dill
- Pinch of sea salt
How to make:
The amount for spinach depends on how you make the salad. If you want to leave the spinach raw, just add a small handful to each salad. If you want to steam it (which is how I prefer it) then use 1 big handful for each salad. It only takes about a minute or so to steam spinach, don’t over do it! Take the steamer out of the pot when finished steaming and allow the spinach to dry for a few minutes.
Cut cherry tomatoes in half, slice onion thinly, chop herbs finely, and shred carrot. Slice avocado into thin strips while still in the shell, then scoop out with a spoon. Cut artichoke into bite sized pieces. Add all ingredients into your salad bowl, top with a dollop of hummus, sprinkle of dulse, and some Dijon dressing.
Makes 2 main dish salads
