Seriously Basic Green Salad
As the title states, this salad is seriously basic but these are the kinds of recipes I eat every day. I love making fancy Kelp Noodle Pad Thai and Coconut Flour Pizza but most days I just want a simple salad. I take a minimalists approach to food, and the second I ditched all the fancy condiments and expensive ingredients and just focused on really simple food – it made my food decisions so much easier and allows me to effortlessly eat well without too much over-complication.
I wrote more about this here, and below is my super basic salad recipe!
Seriously Basic Green Salad
I take a minimalist approach to food. It makes my food decisions so much easier and allowed me to effortlessly eat well without too much over-complication.
Serves:
1
Prep time:
10 minutes
Cook time:
0 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ lemon juiced
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- 5 cups mixed salad leaves (cos lettuce, rocket, spinach etc.)
- ½ avocado
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
METHOD
- In a small jar combine the olive oil, lemon, mustard, salt and pepper and shake to combine.
- In a large bowl toss the leaves in the dressing, ensuring everything is coated and glossy.
- Serve topped with half an avocado and hemp seeds and extra salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- To make this a meal, I prefer to have a good source of protein so to this I would add 2 boiled eggs, a can of tuna or a serving of fish or chicken. If you are vegan, my favourite protein is hemp protein or tempeh.
