Few months ago I decided to have salad for lunch every day of the week, or at least as often as I could. The challenge was having as many types of plants as possible each week. Two weeks in I noticed I had more energy already and now it’s no turning back. This is doing wonders for me. The key to this salad experiment not getting boring is diversity. I love having kimchi, sprouts, seeds and nuts as toppings. Good dressing is a great addition, though I normally prefer the simplicity of a good olive oil and black pepper. Love olive oil with a taste of lemon. The most important part is fresh vegetables, preferably organic and it’s better if they haven’t traveled a long way. Until I start harvesting my own crop I’m using salad, micro greens and herbs from VAXA as a base. Leftovers from yesterday, or the day before, often end as an addition to my salad, baked veggies, salsa or shrimps to name a few. It’s a good way to fight food waste. The photo above is from 2021, you can spot grilled veggies in my salad. I’ve shot a lot of salad photos over the last few weeks and thought they might give you some ideas if you’d like to add more greens to your diet. I posted a few older photos as well 🥗
