Beetroot salad: purple mania

 

Hi guys,

Ok it seems to be salad mania up in here! 

This is what I am dubbing my purple haze salad. It is super simple and very filling.
 I adore the colours, even though it is spring there is something very autumnal and harvest supper about it. No?

I have a weird thing about beetroot. Even weirder than my twice a year banana thing. Beetroot takes me back to primary school and having manky over cooked mushy beetroots, possibly with a strand of hair or 2.....ummm sexy.

Over the last few years I have been eating it more mainly shredded (seems to be the only way i will eat it)as it is super nutritious and high in anti oxidants.

My mum has been raving about beetroot for years but I never could bring myself to eat them, which is strange as purple is my favourite colour.

Ingredients:

Red beets

Chioggia beets (ringed beetroot)  

Carrots

 Sweet corn

Cherry tomatoes

Dressing:

1/2 x lemon

1/2x  lime

1 x tablespoon honey
1x dried chives
chili flakes -to taste
pinch of pepper and salt

Enjoy your bank holiday!

Smooches

Keeping it simple: Grilled chicken & 4 cheese ravioli

It's bank holiday Monday, the sun is shining and I am finally feeling the vitamin D on my skin.
 I am chilaxing with my nephew in old as time pjs chowing down on some grilled chicken and 4 cheese ravioli.

This the best picnic of jam food as its simple yet effective and works hot or cold.

 My Friend Kezy made the Cheddar, goats cheese, mexicana and blue danish ravioli. After I raved about a similar ravioli I got from a deli. I believe she followed this recipe.

I used 4 Chicken breasts and sliced in a medium cut. They were seasoned with dried chives, season all, chilli, black pepper, soy sauce, paprika, lime and a dash of hoisin . Deglaze the pan for some sauce.

This is a deffo must try!
