Mysty PfefferI have to admit right off the bat, I never look for salad recipes. Therefore, I don’t expect anyone else to do that either. So, when a lady requested some salad recipes, I realized what I take for granted in my daily regimen is not the same for everyone. Therefore, if you are looking for a fresh take and full impact for staying full, you’re in the right place. Sustaining and easy salad ideas are here for your enjoyment!
Breakfast Salad and Eggs
Now, don’t be put off by the thought of salad first thing in the morning. It is delicious! The firs thing to do is get that image of iceberg lettuce out of your head and think about lucious spinach, arugula, and beet greens found in an organic 50/50 blend of greens.
The benefit is a good start to your day of magnesium, manganese, potassium, vitamin E, protein, and antioxidants to get you through your morning without feeling hungry or deprived. Here is how simple it is:
- Gather 2 cups of salad greens on a plate or shallow bowl, sprinkle with some onion powder, drizzle a capful of organic extra virgin olive oil over it plus a capful of apple cider vinegar, and set aside.
- Prepare two free range eggs according to your preference: soft, medium, hard cooked over 1 tsp of organic extra virgin olive oil. In the same skillet add 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds and 1 tablespoon of pumpkin seeds, until just toasted.
- Place the eggs and seeds over your greens and enjoy!
Prebiotic and Probiotic Loaded Salad Fix
Another sustaining and easy salad idea comes from the same salad mix of 50/50 blend or this salad. It is a perfect blend of flavor and nutrition: Here’s what you add:
- 1 cup finely chopped broccoli
- 1 cup finely chopped carrots
- 1/2 cup cucumbers
- 1/4 cup finely sliced beets
- 1/4 cup each blueberries and blackberries
- If you prefer you can add 3 ounces of your favorite meat (chicken breast, fish, steak) or 1/2 cup garbanzo beans.
For your dressing Mix 1/4 cup full fat plain Greek Yogurt with 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and a tablespoon of fresh parsley and lemon balm. It’s better with minced, juicy tablespoon of onion (but if you’re in a hurry use the onion powder).
God’s Word Sustains Us Too!
The Lord sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.
Psalm 41 ESV – O LORD, Be Gracious to Me – To the – Bible Gateway
The Lord does sustain us in our times of sickness and restores us to full health. Moreover, this is not just physical, but also spiritual and mental. I need Him to sustain me every day, His word provides the encouragement I need to overcome mental attacks and his garden provides all the nutrients to fight against environmental attacks.
