Salads are AMAZING!
Long gone are the days of BORING & BLAND salads.
Salads can be fun & delicious and made in very little time and with little effort.
We LOVE this salad by itself for lunch or as a side with dinner. Its quick, simple & delicious and the Chilli Yoghurt Dressing takes it to a whole new level - It's SO GOOD!
For the base of the salad we went for, rocket / arugula. Its peppery leaves are delicious. This delicious green is a nutrient-dense food high in fibre and is high in several vital nutrients such as ;
Calcium
Potassium
Folate
Vitamin C
Vitamin K
Vitamin A
We also added in some grated carrot, sun-dried tomatoes and some delicious walnuts and pumpkin seeds. The salad would be great by itself with a drizzle of olive oil and some olive oil, however we decided to take it to the next level with our Chilli Yoghurt dressing.
The dressing takes just a few minutes to make and is great with various other salads or drizzled over Avocado on toast...
If you like it spicy then simply add more of your favourite chilli paste. We kept it fairly mild because our stomach is a little sensitive with too much spice.
Lets crack on with this delicious & nutritious salad.
Happy Cooking!
