Ingredients: All my life I’ve never really been a big fan of salads until a few years ago. My idea of a salad was pretty plain, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and a good heap of some kind of dressing and loads of cheese. I never really took the time to make a good Salad. I Just spent most of my time on my main dish and then, quickly through something together at the end to go with it. As I’ve learned since I took up cooking as a hobby, making a good salad is really easy. It’s not at all hard to make it extra tasty if you add an extra step or two and believe me it’s worth the time.
One big handful of Cashews.
2 Table spoons of cottage cheese or Parmesan Cheese
1 small Cucumber
3 or 4 Cherry Tomatoes
Small bunch of Alfalfa Sprouts
One big handful of Spinach leaves.
One big hand full of Romaine Lettuce
One big hand full of regular green Lettuce

Directions: |
Directions:First wash off all of your Lettuce and Spinach leaves~ Then chop them or tear them up into easy to eat size pieces (You don’t need to shred them)~ Put them in a strainer to drain off all the access water~ Next wash and slice up your cucumber into nice thin circle or oval shaped slices, (You may not need a whole cucumber but chop it up anyway and keep it in a Tupperware in the fridge for tomorrow’s salad)~ Wash and quarter your Cherry Tomatoes~ Wash and cut the bottoms off of your Alfalfa sprouts and set aside for later~ Put a fry pan on high heat, dry for about 1min~ Add the handful of raw Cashews~ Toss them in the pan to keep them from burning (there will be a great smell coming from the pan) for about 2min and set aside for later~ Put your Lettuce and Spinach leaves in a salad bowl and top them with the Cucumber and Tomatoes~ Add the roasted Cashew nuts and two table spoons of cottage cheese (or Parmesan Cheese)~ Last but not least, add your Alfalfa Sprouts and your done!
Serve it with the dressing of your choice. Personally, I like Caesar but Sesame seed dressing is really tasty too! (And a bit healthier!) |
