Tried something different as far as a dressing goes - turned out yum! Nice to add a bit of fruity-ness to a salad. As always, loaded with micronutrients and fiber to keep you healthy and energy levels more constant.
Salad ingredients:
- 2 BIG handfuls of mixed salad greens (mine had sprouts in it too which is a bonus)
- 1/2 each of red, green and orange capsium, chopped
- 3 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 avocado, chopped
- 2 handfuls of grapes
- 2 spring onion stalks, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1/2 packet buckwheat soba noodles
Cook soba noodles as per the instructions on the packet (they don't take long). Place in a bowl, rinse in cold water, sprinkle some olive oil over them and toss gently to stop them from sticking together too much. Set aside.
Place the rest of the ingredients, apart from the avocado) in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
Add the noodles and dr and mix through gently.
