This was actually the first decent salad we ever created. We wanted a salad which was both rich in phytonutrients, and vibrant in colour. It includes a bunch of the big hitters from our pantry so it will deliver an awesome boost to your immune system.
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. coconut oil
- 10 small mushrooms
- 2 cups rocket (tightly packed)
- 3 carrots
- 1 red onion
- 1 cup pitted olives
- 1 broccoli head
- 1 avocado
- 16 cherry tomatoes
- Juice of a lemon
- 1 cup mixed seeds and nuts (I use pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds, walnuts and almonds, but any mix is fine)
- Splash of tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Wash and cut the broccoli head into florets, slice the mushrooms in half, peel carrots and chop them into quarters (long ways) and finely slice the red onion - set aside.
- In a wok (or a large pan), heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil and add nuts and seeds, stir regularly for around 4-5 minutes until they start to pop.
- Add 2 tbsp of coconut oil to the wok, followed by the mushrooms and cook for a further 4-5 minutes (until the mushrooms are lightly cooked), stir regularly.
- Add the carrots to the wok and cook for around 5 minutes, stir regularly, (remember carrots are better under cooked and should still be crunchy).
- Add the broccoli to the wok and cook until it turns bright green (around 3 minutes).
- Place wok contents in a bowl and set aside to cool.
- Peel and slice the avocado and place in a small bowl.
- Once cooled, place wok contents in a large bowl, followed by the rocket, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives and avocado. Add salt and pepper, lemon juice and splashes of tamari and toss well.
