3 Awesome Summer-Fresh Salads !

As the weather warms salads become more appealing! The fresh produce, the juicy ingredients and of course the health factor.

Here are 3 salads I’ve been making forever! Especially in the summer.

The Quinoa Bowl

Easy & delicious! You can mix up the ingredients in this to best suit you. Essentially you boil quinoa, let it sit. Then top with veggies, cheese, beans etc. There’s no stopping !

In the salad I’ve used:

1/2 cup cooked quinoa

1/3 cup corn

1/3 cup edamame

5 cherry tomatoes

1/4 cup red pepper

1/4 cup orange pepper

1 tbsp feta

1 tbsp black olives

Dressing (enough for 4 salads, keep in fridge and use all week)

1/4 cup grape seed oil

1/2 lime

1 tbsp honey Dijon

1 tbsp fresh parsley

Pepper

2. Chickpea and Chicken over Spinach

Super healthy meets super delicious with this salad!

In this salad I’ve used:

1 chicken breast

1 tsp coconut oi

1/2 cup chickpeas

1 tbsp fresh parsley

Ground pepper

Large handful baby spinach

1 tsp avocado oil

1/4 fresh lemon

2 tsp feta cheese

1 green onion

Heat a pan with coconut oil. Slice your chicken breast and place into the pan with chickpeas and parsley. Ground pepper over top and cover. Keep on medium heat.

Drizzle the avocado oil over top of the spinach. Squeeze the fresh lemon on top as well and mix.

The chicken and chickpeas should cook for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked all the way through.

Once done, place over spinach. Sprinkle the feta cheese over chicken and slice the green onion and add.
