Two more salads!

I just can't make myself cook on 35-40 degree days. Ice, Frozen fruit and veggies are about all I feel like eating so more salad recipes it is!

They're so full of flavour & texture they don't need dressings (you won't even miss them!)

 Chickpea Salad

Serves 2

1/2 Avocado

small handful chopped almonds

6-ish chopped sun-dried tomatoes

cucumber

1 can drained chickpeas

1 tbsp ground chia seeds

mushrooms

spinach

watercress

rocket

green beans

• It's a salad, no instruction needed- cut it up-put in on a plate and dig in!

The protein in the chickpeas will keep you full and bouncy for ages, not to mention the good fats in the nuts/seeds/avocado which will make sure you don't feel deprived in the slightest!

Roast Vegetable Salad

Serves 2

Mixed lettuce leaves

spinach

iceberg lettuce (I like it for extra crunch!)

1/2 avocado

mushrooms

cucumber

celery

broccoli

1 tbsp ground chia seeds

cold roast sweet potato

cold roast carrot

cold roast beetroot

pumpkin seeds

• roast veg at 180 for 1hr-ish (my oven's 1000 yrs old yours should take less!)
• let it cool & refrigerate = a nice salad addition
• make a yummy salad with the above ingredients

It's the perfect use for left over veggies without having to heat up the apartment and it only takes a few mins to throw together! Hope you enjoy too- or even just get inspired to get creative with your salads- see what's in the house, think about what you could add to make it a super salad (fruit, nuts, seeds, legumes, beans etc etc) Have some fun with it- salads have a really bad rap with most people but they can be the best meals and make you feel great!

Hope you're all keeping smiling and enjoying the new year xxx
