Raw broccoli and salmon salad with Avocado dressing


This recipe was written in the NZ Herald back in April this year. If you are looking for a meal idea that is healthy and tastes great, you've found a winner! This recipe caters for everyone! Gluten free, Dairy free, Sugar free, Clean eaters! If you are vegetarian or vegan you can easily take out the salmon :)

This recipe is so easy and can be achieved in 3 steps!




You will Need:

1 Head of broccoli broken in to florets
1 red capsicum, roughly chopped
Handful fresh herbs of your choice (I used coriander, Italian parsley and Vietnamese mint)
200 g salmon (smoked if you wish, I prefer mine not to be smoked)
1 cup black pitted olives
1/2 cup seeds (toasted if you wish, I use pumpkin seeds and sunflower )

Dressing:
1 avocado
Juice of a lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water
2 cloves garlic*
sea salt
pepper

* Note that the 2 cloves of garlic is quite strong, change this to 1 clove if you don't want it too garlic-y :)

What to do:
Dressing:
1. Blend up all ingredients together until smooth.

Salad:
2. In a food processor, Pulse the broccoli, capsicum and herbs until a rice like consistency.

3. Transfer to a large bowl and toss in dressing, salmon, olives and seeds!

Enjoy!

I hope you like this recipe as much as I do! Let me know what you think!

Salmon Gravlax Open Sandwich


Salmon Gravlax Open Sandwich



Salmon Gravlax is a dry marinade that is simple, easy and brings out great flavours in the salmon

All you need is:
Thin slices of fresh salmon
3T white sugar
3T salt

mix the sugar and salt together and use this to coat the salmon.
Refrigerate for 2-3 hours

Wash off the dry marinade with water.

 For the open sandwich I used,
1 slice french bread stick
1 leaf of fancy lettuce
sliced cucumber
sliced tomato
cream cheese
radish cress

Remember you can use any sandwich ingredients you want :)
This is just an idea from what I used


p.s : sorry about the bad photo quality from my phone :(
