This fruity, nuts and seeds salad is an easy to prepare salad, boasting a combination of sweet and earthy flavours. Colourful, with just the right amount of crunch, this salad, makes a perfect entertainers delight.
With the new year comes many hopes of following through with personal new years resolution, to eat healthy, eat clean, and attempt to lose weight. If that is your resolution for the year 2018, THEN I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST. PERSONALLY, I cannot rigidly keep to fulfilling a resolution, so I don’t keep any. But like yourself, I do aim to eating better quality foods. Foods that are good for my mind, body and soul. Nobody likes to eat a boring old salad, that get’s a bad name like ‘Rabbit food’. So for years now, I have been playing up our regular green salad, with bits of fruits, nuts and seeds, to add a more substantial feeling of satiation. This Fruity, Nuts and Seeds Salad can be enjoyed as lunch, or add it as a side serving with your main meal with Protein like Chicken, Fish, Lamb or Steak. Just a perfect ‘Lift Me Up’ that is so needed during these Summer Days in South Africa. Why Not try this salad with my Rosemary and Lemon Chicken Pot Roast , Monk Style Steak OR even these Crispylicious Lamb Chops …YUMMMM
For this Fruity, Nuts and Seeds Salad, I make use of One Fruit at a time with this salad, like today I made use of Strawberries. Did you know… Strawberries have an average of about 200 seeds per fruit, BUT THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY FRUITS, because their seeds are on the outside. These plants are ‘Runners’ and not produced by seeds, and actually belong to the ROSE family. Strawberries have numerous health benefits, to name a few, like improving arthritic and gout conditions, lowering high blood pressure and because of their antioxidant properties, makes them great for our skin and immune system. With that said, You can make use of any fruit you enjoy, try mangoes, pineapples, apples, or other berries, which each have their own amazing benefits to add.
With the Nuts and Seeds, I tend to stick to what I have available in my pantry. But most often, I like adding, Pecans, Flaked Almonds, Pine Nut kernels, Sunflower seeds, Sesame seeds and a bit of Coconut flakes for more added benefits and taste.
Nuts and Seeds are just as vitally important to our health. These provide our body and immune system with much needed nutrients. Proven research records, show that consuming just a handful, of the correct nuts and seeds, a day, is bursting with essential heart healthy fats, minerals and vitamins, that help by providing our bodies with the satiating fibre, as well as providing immune boosting properties and helps in fighting off inflammation. Nuts and Seeds, most definitely has a positive effect on our bodies and mind, SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, SNACK ON THESE HEALTHY GOODIES, AND ADD THEM TO YOUR SALADS TOO.
So here below, is my recipe for this hearty and heathly fruity, nuts and seeds salad. Add a little more crunch to your everyday salad.

Pomegranate Molasses, adds a Sweet and Tangy taste to your regular vinaigrette. Try my Pomegranate Molasses Salad Dressing Recipes, for your next salad, and guaranteed, these will become a firm favourite in your home too.
Pomegranate Molasses, is a thick dark, ruby red liquid, that has a sweet and sour/tangy taste. It is made from a special variety of pomegranates, the juices of which are boiled to reach a thick consistency. In Arabic, pomegranate molasses are known as dibs rumman, and it is common in many Arabic, as well as Mediterranean dishes.
I picked up this red ruby of a gem, an import from Lebanon, at the 2017 Good Food and Wine show in Johannesburg. I knew I wanted to use this ingredient in some dishes, and because of it’s thick concentrate consistency, I find it lasting me longer than I had expected. But, with that said, I am glad of this, as I am able to further experiment with this tangy goodness.
So, if you have a bottle of this precious liquid in your grocery pantry, allow me to show you the 2 different ways to make use of pomegranate molasses in your salad dressing.

HAVE YOU TRIED THESE SALAD DRESSING RECIPES, OR ANY OF MY OTHER RECIPES??? I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU.
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED POST.
A Light and Refreshing Tomato Salad, this Sambal is EASY to Prepare and can be ENJOYED as an accompaniment with a variety of international cuisines.
Don’t you LOVE how a dish can be interpreted in different parts of the World. Take this Easy Sambal Salad, the basic ingredients are exactly the same as one would use for a Mexican Salsa. Growing up in Durban, South Africa, we have watched Grans, mums and aunts whip up this “SALSA“, yet it was referred to as a “SAMBAL”. Yet Today I also learned, via google, that SAMBALS, is actually a spicy sauce/dip with it’s origins stemming from Asian Cuisine. So whatever you refer to this side dish as, I’m sure it goes done perfectly with any cuisine.
This salad is literally done…CHOP>>>CHOP. On MY FACEBOOK PAGE, I have an Album in which I share some of my ‘MUST HAVE’ items, ingredients, household gadgets, and this particular gadget is one such in my home. I remember purchasing this MEZZALUNA, some 15 years ago, when we had purchased our very 1st home after moving to Johannesburg. And I had even tagged it along when we moved to Bahrain for a while. YEAH I LOVE IT THAT MUCH?, CAN YOU TELL?. Having this nifty little gadget, makes my life so much easier, and I most especially enjoy it when I have to chop onions. But the uses of it doesn’t stop just at onions, absolutely anything that needs a chop, works wonderfully with this Mezzaluna. This is the very same gadget I used today to make my Easy Sambal Salad.
DID YOU KNOW???
A MEZZALUNA is a Knife with a single or double curved blade with a handle on either sides of it. “MEZZALUNA” actually means ‘HALF MOON’ in Italian, a prominent shape these knives take on is ‘curved’ like a half moon. These gadgets are usually marketed as a ‘HERB CHOPPER’, Mezzalunas are also always sold with a chopping board, that has a slight to shallow indentation in it, which allows for the rocking motion of the knife blades during chopping.
I do hope you give this Sambal Salad a try, and as always, I DO look forward to your feedbacks.

This is a simple and easy to prepare, light salad option, perfect for a lunch pack up, a picnic or maybe even as a side on your dinner table. Whichever occasion you choose to enjoy this Chicken Guacamole Lettuce Cups, I hope it wins your heart over, like it did for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Days are slowly turning warmer here in Johannesburg. I for one am glad that winter is finally shedding her icy grip on us. This means I can finally get back to some healthier meal options again, and back to the shops it was for me, to stock up on some much needed salad greens.
I actually put together 2 of my previous recipes I have shared before, or more like the ideas of it, to create this dish. The night before saw me prepare Tasty Nandos Chicken Strips , for a light dinner. The perfect amount of heat to warm up the still chilled evenings. And no better way to enjoy these leftovers, than in a salad, together with inspiration from my 2nd previously shared recipe, my Super Easy Guacamole .
I do hope this post inspires you, my readers, to give this one a go. Sometimes this simplest of flavour, without too much of a fuss, produces an awesome end result, wouldn’t you agree?? I had been chatting with a few of my soul sisters, and there was mixed feeling with regards to how some lovelies felt about eating a salad as a meal. Do You enjoy Salads? I would love to hear from you.
Until the next post…
Happy ‘Salad Making’

YOU WILL NEED:
1/2 Large Avocado
2 Tablespoons finely chopped Red onion
1 chopped cocktail Tomato
1 Tablespoon chopped Jalapeño
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh Coriander
Juice of 1/2 Lime
Drizzle of Olive Oil (I used the willowcreek jalapeño flavoured olive oil)
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
Salt and Crushed Black Pepper
3-4 Tablespoons left over cooked Chicken cubes (as little or more as you prefer)
2-3 large Lettuce Leaves
(Today I used Baby Gem Lettuce, but iceberg lettuce works fantastic for this too)
INSTRUCTIONS
• chop and mix together all the chicken guacamole ingredients.
• Spoon this mixture generously into lettuce cups
• top with quarter cocktail Tomato to add more colour, and deco with a leaf or 2 of fresh Coriander.
• serve immediately with a grind of cracked black pepper, drizzle of Olive oil and Balsamic Vinegar(optional).
ENJOY (@foodeva_marsay)
NOTES BY FOODEVA MARSAY
~ any types of leftover chicken may be used.
~ ‘lettuce cups’ indicates to the ‘cup shape’ of some salad leaves, use iceberg lettuce for a crispier hold for your toppings.
~ this salad is meant to be enjoyed using your fingers, but hey enjoy them anyway you choose, it’s just as good;-)
~ add the last bit of olive oil/balsamic vinegar just before serving, so the lettuce leaf retains it’s crispiness.
~ you could also serve this exact salad onto a large platter, this too either as individual servings, or the chicken guacamole topping placed on a bed of salad leaves.

Sometimes all we need is a gentle reminder like this ⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇
(Picture shared on by Zubeida Mahomed ? )
, to get us reaching for some healthier food options. This salad I blog about today is a well known salad, with Levantine origins (Lebanon, Jordan and Syria), a chunky kind of salad, with vegetables that you may like or those that are in season.
Travel has allowed me to experience many new tastes from around the World, and this salad is one such dish. It can be found in most Arabian themed Resturants and made with leftover Pita Breads (Arabian Flatbread – khubz), However I prefer using a tortilla wrap that I cut up and fry lightly in oil until golden brown and crisp.
The main ingredient in this salad would be the Salad Dressing, which has Sumac , a Spice with a Tangy/Sour taste, but paired with Lemon or Lime juice just further enhances this spice.
Below is my recipe for the Salad together with the Fattoush Dressing Vinaigrette .
So go ahead, don’t wait for those little reminders to get you and your family to ENJOY this Crunchy, Tangy Arabian Salad.
Happy Salad Tossing my friends;)

I Love how Foods of the World tend to intermingle. Take this Creamy and Cool Yoghurt Sauce for instance, though it may have it’s roots in Greece Known there as Tzatziki, this rather humble dip is also a HUGE part of Arab food culture, most commonly known as Cucumber Laban/Yoghurt , and this very kind of Sauce is also part of the Indian Menus, known as Raita.
I for one, since moving to Bahrain, have taken a Liking to this Sauce. Found at almost all restaurants, either as a cold Meze To enjoy with Pita/Arabic Breads OR as a Side Dish to complement just about any dish. This Creamy and Cool Yoghurt Sauce, is so easy to make, that it has now become a favourite dip in my home.
So next time you have guests coming over, OR just add a change to your regular everyday meal, try serving this Middle Eastern Cucumber Yoghurt Sauce, perfect with pita/arabic breads, delicious with grilled meats and fish and a refreshingly cool add on to any spicy curry or rice dish???.
Ingredients
? 1/2 Cucumber Grated (any variety)
? 1 Cup Plain Yoghurt
? 1 teaspoon Garlic Paste
? 1 Tablespoon fresh Mint, finely chopped (fresh Dill may also be used)
? 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
? 1/2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
? Salt (To Taste)
? 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Method
? Halve to Cucumber, lengthwise, and remove seeds
? Grate Cucumber, I used the English Cucumber with skin on.
? add to this grated cucumber 1/2 teaspoon salt, and allow the water to draw out for 10 minutes.
? While the water draws out of the Cucumber, go ahead with the rest of the preps.
? In a lage enough vessel whisk together the Yoghurt, Garlic Paste, Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, and Mint.
? Squeeze out, as much as possible, the remain water from cucumber, and add cucumber to the yoghurt mix.
? Season with Salt and Ground Black Pepper, mix through well
? May be Kept in Fridge a few hours before serving (if it lasts that long?)
THAT’S IT….ENJOY!!!
