1- Quinoa salad

Quite simple and traditional salads have always been eaten in my house, but I had the quinoa salad pending because I had never prepared it nor had I tried it and I’m sure there will be a second time because it is delicious.

Quinoa is easy to prepare it cooks like rice. Once it’s cold (you can let it cool to room temperature, or if you’re in a hurry or impatient like me, add cold water) you can use your favorite ingredients and the dressing that you like best. I have put: corn, carrot, cherry tomatoes, black olives, and avocado.

I have seasoned it with extra virgin olive oil, although it also has to be very tasty with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar.

If you don’t like quinoa or you think it’s too expensive, you can use rice. The idea is to eat brown rice because it is healthier and more nutritious, although I also usually eat Basmati rice in my lunch.

It is important to eat salads throughout the year, and when it is cold some people find it difficult to do so legume, rice, or quinoa salads are a great alternative. It is plenty of raw leafy greens full of nutrients, minerals, and fiber.

The salad is also delicious without any dressing, and I have to try it with soy sauce because the truth is that I try to avoid oil as much as possible. I have discovered that there are many very rich, light, and healthy dressings that we can use instead of the typical vinaigrette that almost everyone uses.

It is more comfortable for me to use frozen corn because I have it in the freezer, and I cook it in a moment in boiling water when I need it canned corn usually has additives and is more processed.

To make the salad lighter you can replace the olives with capers. Do not be afraid of avocado fat, it is one of the healthiest you can eat.

Do not add ingredients of animal origin or highly refined or processed products, and try to keep the ingredients fresh, as much as possible. Avoid packaged sauces and do not abuse fats, especially those that are not healthy.

Vegan Caesar Salad

Today we turn to the vegan Caesar salad. This recipe is EPIC. I’m not exaggerating if I say that it’s one of the tastiest salads I’ve ever tried, and it’s certainly my favorite of all the ones we’ve published on the blog.

It is not a salad for every day because it is not ready in 5 minutes and also the sauce is caloric, but it is ideal to treat yourself because it is really delicious.

It is common to use Iceberg lettuce to make this salad, but it is very bland and has fewer nutrients than others, so it is best to avoid it. I used romaine lettuce because it is similar but it is a thousand times richer. You can also add other green leaves such as spinach, kale, or whatever you have at home.

Lentil Salad

There is less than a month left until the end of the summer and for the arrival of the chilly and spoon dishes. Although it is still hot, we should not leave legumes aside. We can simply take them cold in the form of dips, cold creams, or salads.

Legume salads are easy to prepare and quick, and you can add any ingredient you have at home. This lentil salad is delicious, and we have made it with ingredients that we all have in our kitchens, so it can get you out of trouble if you want to eat a healthy dish that is ready in no time.

Tips:

If you don’t take oil, you can replace it with tahini or any other healthy fat or even lemon juice, soy sauce, tamari, etc.
You can use the vegetables and ingredients you want.
If you use canned lentils, wash them well. The idea is to cook our legumes (following the instructions on the package), although preserves can get us out of trouble if we don’t have much time.
