It’s not what you wear; it’s how you wear it! Ask any self-respecting salad!!!
Slip on your favourite dress or a crisp white shirt, after a fresh aromatic shower, how do you feel? What do you feel? I hope cleansed, alert, alive and ready for the day, wherever it may take you! And today, this summer we want to “feel” good! Here’s how….
The Citrus Virgin Classic awakens the Beets |
EAT SALAD, FRESH AND SEASONAL.
The Creamed Herb classic offers freshness and flavour to potatoes and beans |
You’ll get a light and enriched feeling that will leave you beaming like the bear that found the honey!
I have a friend, Alexandra, she has a way with salads, various leaves and herbs tossed together with a seemingly random mixture of ingredients, mushrooms, chorizo, artichokes, beans, cornichons, tomatoes, seasonal leaves, pickled onions and other delights. She’s a salad artist if you like.
An Alexandra Special! |
And I challenge anyone who thinks creating beauty on a plate is not within his or her reach. Salads, by their very definition are simple and easy to make -
“A cold dish of chopped vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, eggs, or other food, usually prepared with a dressing, such as mayonnaise”

Lemons, 2 juiced
Extra-virgin olive oil, 150ml
Garlic clove, 1 crushed
Sweet freedom/ Fruit sugar 1 tsp
Whole-grain mustard 1 tsp
POP all of the above ingredients in a jar and tighten the lid.
SHAKE shake shake!
SEASON to taste and dress your salad lovingly.

ReplyDelete"I don't know how you pull that off" said a nurse the other day. I was wearing my beanie, shriveled jeans jacket, working shirt-tie-and pants.
ReplyDeleteI never got told about being unprofessional looking as oppose to my best mate for come with a simple hoodie. Must be the "how" ;)
Interesting talk about Iron absorption. I actually had a small blurb about how our environment changes our DNA and the current genetic trends in here: http://littlehungryheart.blogspot.com/2011/07/ciabatta.html
Always love a big bowl of hearty salad!
PFx, you are a master of blogging and science! That was fascinating, "Two groups of genetically identical female rats with different emotional exposure + same dad =
ReplyDeleteGenetically different baby rats."
That consolidates a great deal of my thoughts and affirms scientifically my whole "Feeling Food" philosophy. Nourishing and nurturing the self as a whole is key to a balanced and happy life.
Thanks for your comment and sharing:)
