Salads

If I could have one salad every week for the rest of my life, this would probably be it. It has so many simple ingredients, and yet, but soooo many complex flavors. It’s so refreshing, yet filling that it really became my family’s favorite. Most people don’t think about beets when they think about salad. But trust me on this – the simple tastes of spicy arugula, tangy goat cheese and red wine vinegar, sweet beets and umami toasted walnuts pair really well to create tasteful complexity that makes you want to reach for that extra bite over and over again. I find myself craving this dish for breakfast, lunch and dinner- it’s that good! Add some fried or boiled chicken or turkey meat, steamed or fried salmon fillet, or even cooked beans for a vegetarian version as your protein and you’ve got yourself a full meal that is lip-smacking-deliciously satisfying.

You can keep the freshness and crunch of vegetables simply by marinating them.

It’s a wonderful dish on it’s own, packed with vitamins, minerals and protein that also makes a great side dish to your meat and fish main courses as well as savory breakfasts.

When you think eggplant, do you ever consider boiling it? This boiled eggplant recipe is easy, fast and delicious.

On days I do not have the time to make a big breakfast or do not feel like cooking at all this is a definite winner for my whole family.

My summer is not complete without this wonderful, flavorful, nutrient dense salad.

It’s not only it is super simple and easy to make octopus but also can be made in advance!

Nothing beats a fresh mixed salad with lemon, garlic and extra virgin olive oil for me.  Crunchy, fresh, tasty, nutritious and so full of flavor.

Dandelion greens are great for detoxifying, providing a whole range of vitamins and very impressive nutrient content.

Collard greens are a part of cruciferous family vegetables and are absolutely wonderful as they are heat and cold tolerant without compromising the flavor and texture.

I will take this rich tasting, colorful and gut healing goodness anytime anywhere.

This sauerkraut is one of the easiest thing you will ever make.
