Quinoa salad

I made this fantastic quinoa salad for dinner. This is what I put together:

quinoa (cooked in vegetable stock, cooled)

sweet corn

arugula

cherry tomatoes

dressing:

olive oil

rice vinegar

salt and pepper

I was asked when I will make this again, that's how good it was. If you like meat, you can top the salad of with organic, thinly sliced, grilled chicken breast.

Orange breakfast

Morning redness

My healthy smoothie of the day after my morning run along the beach in Italy:

Frozen red berries, apple sauce, yoghurt, almonds, popped amaranth - blend! And yum!!

Super simple summer RPT salad

Oftentimes I don't even feel like cooking in July and August, thus my sparse writing here. We like to eat cold things I the summer. I love spelt salads with roasted vegetables (will post recipe asap). Today, I worked with what I found in my freezer, fridge and pantry and came up with the creation of my very own RPT salad. Frozen peas, dried and fresh tomatoes, rice and olive oil. I cooked the rice in salt water for only 15 minutes, it needs to be "al dente" - a little bit crunchy inside. I heated the peas and then cooled them in cold water, same with the rice, I cut the dried and fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes in very small pieces, mixed everything together with a bit of extra vergin olive oil, salt, pepper, basil and a tiny bit of lemon juice. Done! This is a delicious salad to serve by itself or with grilled fish or meats. If you have some mozzarella, you can throw it in the bowl or make a second dish: caprese (mozzarella, tomatoes, olive oil, basil, salt and pepper). Easy, light and delicious!
