Purple salad

2013-12-05 12.07.31

When people hear me saying ” I had salad for lunch (or dinner)” “, they think it is boring.

Well.. depends on what kind of salads you make. I try to make it interesting and flavorsome with different colours and texture.

One of my favorites is cabbage >.< I know it can taste quite strong when eaten raw though I quite like it with other vegetables.

I made a big batch of this purple salad for my lunch as well as dinner. Daniel is going to have it with a pork chop for dinner:)

I simply mixed red cabbage, zucchini, celery and parsley, and drizzled a light dressing made of pineapple juice and olive oil. Yum!

You can add some shredded chicken breast to add more protein, sprinkle dried fruits or nuts for different texture, and maybe brie or blue cheese might be nice with it.

I cannot wait to have some more for dinner already.

Pecking duck

This crisp duck breast is store bought and still yummy. You just need to drain all duck fat pretty well otherwise quite greasy >.<

Fresh veggies to go with are a must like zingy home-made pickles and sweet tomatoes.

Dinner served:)

Oven roasted chicken

I marinated in mixed spices including paprika, chilli powder, morrocan spice, garlic and olive oil for 30mins to one hour before putting into the oven.

Veggies go in as well as chicken as you can see here like carrots, onions, potatoes, etc what ever you want:)

Garnish with basil and coriander before serve. Easy!!
