DETAILS

BEST FOR: Lunch or dinner

SERVES: 1 woman

INGREDIENTS:

• PROTEIN:
  • 100g fresh salmon cuts or 1/2 can salmon in brine.

• VEGETABLES / FRUIT:
  • 2 to 3 zucchini/baby marrow
  • 5 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 lemon

• SMART CARBS
  • 1 slice sprouted bread or buckwheat loaf

• HEALTHY FAT:
  • 1/4 avocado
  • 1 tsp olive oil

• HERBS, SPICES, AND EXTRAS:
  • 1/2 sheet nori
  • Dill
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

• 

• 

UTENSILS:

• Cutting board
• Sharp knife
• Bowl for mixing
• spiralizer or potato peeler

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Mash the avocado, a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper well, until fairly smooth.

• Spiralize the baby marrow (if you don’t have a spiralizer just use the potato peeler to cut thin strips and halve them lengthwise).

• Sprinkle a little salt over the baby marrow and set aside for a few minutes to draw out the excess water.

• Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves or quarters.

• Slice the nori into thin strips or break into uneven pieces (your choice).

• Squeeze excess water out of the baby marrow and add the avocado dressing. Stir around to coat the baby marrow well.

• Turn the baby marrow/ avocado mix onto a serving plate.

• Arrange the cherry tomatoes, salmon and nori on top.

TO SERVE:

• Serve with lemon wedges and ‘fingers’ of a slice of healthy bread. Garnish with lots of fresh dill.

Note: This is a delightful salad full of interesting, fresh flavours, lots of good fats, and brain food from the salmon. This dish is surprisingly cost-effective too, coming in at less than R20 a serving. Dried nori lasts a long time in storage and can be used for many salads and dishes.
