Category Archives: Salads

It is a hot day here today. I didn’t feel like cooking or anything for lunch, being lazy in this heat >.<

So I made up this green salad with honeydew (melon), brussel sprouts and mint.

You can have some yogurt dressing or citrus dressing on top, though I just liked it by itself.

Sweet from melon, bitter taste from brussel sprouts and refreshing minty taste.

As well as the taste, this salad is so good for you.

Raw brussel sprouts have a cholesterol-lowering benefits and has a great quantity of glucosinolate which is well known for the cancer protection and detox.

These little guys also have so many vitamin antioxidants therefore it is good for inflammation-related conditions and digestive system as well.

Vegetables are so good for you and are a pack of vital nutrients. cannot stress enough 🙂

I should have listened to my mum when I was little. Eat your GREENS!!

 

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.
