Fennel, Celery & Kelp Noodle Salad

Kelp, seaweed and sea vegetables contain one of the most easily absorbed and highest levels of calcium and minerals we can consume. My lunch is a really important meal for me. It’s a time for me to stop for a little while and enjoy nourishing my body. I like to go for a little walk afterwards! Ingredients: Finely sliced fennel Finely sliced celery Finely sliced rocket leaves Flaked cooked salmon (I pre-roasted it with some cracked black pepper) Kelp (Seaweed) noodles (chopped) Cracked black pepper Dressing: Olive oil Lemon juice Toss all gently together and allow to infuse well before … Continue reading Fennel, Celery & Kelp Noodle Salad

Crispy Crunchy Celery Salad

smc

Welcome to my desk!! I’ve started a new job, that I love … and I have been loving my exploration of salads. This one was particularly tasty and crispy and filling that I felt to share it with you all. Finely slice … Celery Fennel Spinach leaves Red pepper/capsicum Because this salad doesn’t have lettuce in it, I like to dress it in the morning before I leave home with lemon juice and oil (olive or avocado or hazelnut or macadamia – whatever you have and whatever takes your fancy!) … that way the fennel doesn’t brown and the dressing … Continue reading Crispy Crunchy Celery Salad

I really can’t remember where this recipe came from – but it’s very yummy and super simple – and I love that it can be breakfast or desert or snack! Blend one banana into two eggs and some cinnamon till light and fluffy Heat a pan with some coconut oil and spoon in small amounts and watch them like a hawk – they burn easily so make sure you don’t overheat the pan! Yummy with Melissa’s Almond Butter or fresh blueberries or with a dollop of coconut cream and vanilla powder Vanessa has hers with half a grated apple and … Continue reading Banana Pancakes
