SALADS - QUICK AND HEALTHY

It's Sunday and this morning we went to the farmers market in Adeje, we bought a loads of good lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, onion, avocados and much more, so I'm gonna make a lot of salads those days!

Salad is one of the easiest dishes you can make at home, the only thing you need is good ingredients and inspiration!

It's so much more than just lettuce, tomato and cucumber. I alwyays make sure there's enough fats, good carbs and protein in my salads and I always choose the dressing with the highest fat content. Why?

1. The high fat products are normally the most natural that has not gone through lots of processes. Our bodies burn real fat so much easier than a nonfat product with chimicals in it. I always avoid nonfat/light products!

2. To make sure it's really satisfied the hunger, where the highfat products wins easily!

And, did you know salads get healthier with good fats in it? Our bodies need fat to be able to absorb the chlorophill (encapsulated sunlight) that you find in green leafs as lettuce, spinage, kale, seagrass etc. Chlorophill cleanses and detoxifies the blood, neutralizes carcinogens and prevents bacterial growth , the opposite of sugars that feed the cells with carcinogens.

My top 5 fats/carbs/protein vegetariangoodies in salads
