Caesar style salad

Although the classic recipe calls for chicken, it can be replaced with other options to suit vegetarians and pescatarians. Skip cheese altogether if on a dairy free plan.

Ingredients:

  • Baby gem or romaine lettuce

  • Protein of choice: chicken, turkey or prawns (you can use leftover meat, e.g. from a roast or ready made rotisserie chicken); vegetarians can use chickpeas

  • Hard boiled egg

  • Parmesan or Grana Padano or hard sheep´s chees like Manchego or similar

  • Optional: crispy bacon, a few anchovies

    Salad dressing, lazy version:

  • 2 table spoons of quality mayonnaise, preferably made with olive oil

  • 1 tea spoon of Dijon mustard

  • 2 table spoons of freshly boiled water

  • 1/2 small clove of garlic, skip if sensitive

Instructions:

  1. Combine dressing ingredients with a fork.

  2. Roughly tear the leaves and place on a plate. Add dressing and coat the leaves with your hand.

  3. Arrange toppings: spread the protein, bacon, eggs and anchovies and sprinkle with shaved cheese.

Easy way to cook fish 3

Ingredients:

  • Any fish, with or without the skin

  • Any assorted vegetables, cut / sliced into desirable pieces

  • Olive oil

  • Salt

  • Optional: pesto (can be vegan)

Instructions:

  1. Heat up the pan, add a splash of oil.

  2. Add all vegetables and a small splash of water to create steam.

  3. Season with salt and stir through.

  4. Place fish on top of vegetable skin side up and close the pan with a lid.

  5. Cook until fish has set - steam created in the pan will take care of that.
