Crunchy orange, mint & hazlenut salad
So many people say they can't diet because they hate salads. This is not surprising considering the fact that most people think a salad is a limp piece of iceberg lettuce with a few tomatoes.
Nowadays, you can create so many salads which are not only delicious as an accompaniment but also as a standalone dish. I created this recipe to have with roasted gilthead bream, but you could equally add 1inch piece of feta cheese to make an entire supper.
Ingredients
Celery, chopped
Carrot, grated
Bunch of mint, chopped
Bunch of basil, chopped
1dsp hazlenuts and walnuts, chopped
2tsp pumpkin seeds
One orange, cut into thin slices (blood red orange would work particularly well)
For the dressing
juice of fresh orange
Rice wine vinegar
Combine all the ingredients together, dress and serve. This would also be delicious with green beans and a tuna steak.
