This summery salad is one of the fastest recipes ever. It only takes 5 minutes to be prepared and requires no cooking whatsoever. Et Voilà – ready to be served in NO TIME!
I wrote this article 3 days ago when the weather was still messing up with our moods and minds here in Düsseldorf, Germany. Having still to deal with technical issues in terms of design, I had to postpone the launch of the blog for today.
The good news is that summer has arrived here too. Now, on with the article!
Fresh salads are a nutritional powerhouse providing all the vitamins, minerals and healthy fats, especially if they are made with fresh summery vegetables. Unfortunately, where I live, it’s not summer yet! I have been waiting way too long for mild and nice weather and, therefore, I decided to write this simple and quick salad recipe hoping to invoke summer in this part of the world too.
Before I forget, the only thing you need for this salad is a bowl or a plate, as you wish.
Where are you my most beloved season? I really need you to cheer me up and bring some blush in my cheeks. I promise I will enjoy every minute of you!
So I went today to the local farmer’s market to buy fresh veggies and to also support the local producers. Here is what I bought.
- a handful of baby spinach
- a handful of green lettuce
- a handful of fresh champignons
- 2 green onions
- 4 radish
- ½ avocado
- 1 big size carrot
- 8 cherry tomatoes
- 1 big size red bell pepper
- sea sea salt and pepper to taste
- Dressing
- 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
- fresh lemon juice from 1 lemon
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- Rinse all the vegetables very well under the running cold water and chop them roughly.
- Place them all in a bowl/plate and drizzle the dressing over it.
Get creative and stay healthy!
Sharing is kind of SEXY!
I’m trying to reduce the amount of carbs in my diet and your summery salad tasted great today, it filled me up no problem. Thanks,
Hi Maria. I am so glad to hear that! :) Thanks a lot! And, by the way, good luck with your diet!
I get scolded when I call it a diet, I am told it is a way of life! Trouble is I love fresh brown bread.
Sorry, you’re right, I should have called it “lifestyle” :) However, I strongly believe that if you indulge in a slice of fresh bread once in a while, it’s not the end of the world. I also love eating whole grain bread but I try to do it on those days when I work out.
A good tip, I can use bread as a work out treat. Thanks again.
You’re welcome Maria! :) P.S. Congrats for your first book! I will check it out :)
