Nutritionist-approved banging summer salad
Let’s talk salads.
Like me, you may love salads (guilty as charged) but perhaps - also like me - you get a bit bored of your current rotation?
Welcome into your arms and your kitchens, this little beauty.
Firstly, it's delicious.
Secondly, it's rich in lycopene (from tomatoes) which has antioxidant properties and is loaded with fibre and micronutrients.
Ingredients:
Serves 2
3 large on-the-vine tomatoes
1 pack of mozzarella
2 cups of edamame beans (I use frozen)
Handful of roasted hazelnuts
6 mint leaves
Handful of basil, chives, tarragon, parsley
Dressing: 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, zest of 1 lemon, salt + pepper
How to:
Slice up tomatoes and pop onto plates
Boil the edamame for 4-5 minutes (or whatever your packet instructions say)
Once done, drain and add to the tomatoes
Slice mozzarella and add
Chop up the herbs and stir through the dressing, then add this to the tomatoes
Garnish with the hazelnuts (go on, FLOURISH)
