Salads have many nutritious virtues
Salads may have nutritious virtues, but they also are packed with colour and flavour. They have evolved from very humble and salty beginnings into a wide variety of dishes that be offered as a side or whole meal.
Salads also span the globe across Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Whilst ideally a summer dish, a warm salad is ideal for cooler spring and autumn days.
Quinoa and Zucchini Salad Recipe
Served chilled, Quinoa and Zucchini Salad is a refreshing and satisfying meal accompaniment in warmer weather. It is not quite a complete meal, as the protein and iron level are a little low.
Quinoa and Zucchini Salad can also be served warm or at room temperature on cooler days, especially in autumn. It can be made a day ahead to boost the Moroccan spice flavours.
Brown Lentil Rainbow Salad Recipe
Brown lentil rainbow salad is a complete meal. And it is true to its name, as it is full of colour and flavour. Simple and quick to make. It is one of my favourite summer meals.
Healthy Snacks that Taste Great too
Healthy snacks play a part in our overall enjoyment of food. They are important to have at hand for busy days, especially when we are traveling and do not know when we will be able to purchase a meal. Healthy snacks can also feature at celebrations because they present well, are satisfying and most importantly taste great.
