…
there's
lots to choose from depending on whether you want light or not.
Pomegranate
Dressing
is delicious and perfect with salmon or chicken or halloumi with the
slaw in a wrap or as a salad lunchbox.
Pomegranate
Dressing
2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
juice of two limes
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
pinch of nigella seeds
1-2 tsps sumac
Mix all the ingredients together, preferably in a jug then
pour into a clean jar (with a lid!) and shake well
You might have noticed that it's healthy too!
Next up :
An
Italian/Indian dressing
4 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
1½ tbsps balsamic vinegar
1½ tsps brown sugar
¼ tsp coarse black pepper
¼ tsp cumin powder
pinch of salt
Mix all the ingredients, as above
If you cannot live without your mayo then try the following
home-made recipe which has no additives and takes minutes to produce.
It does not mean that you can overdo it, do not be a greedy guts!
Matt
Preston's
Stick
blender mayonnaise
1 egg
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
pinch of salt
juice of half a lemon – 2 tbsp
350ml of grapeseed oil
Break an egg into the stick blender jug. It's important that
the yolk doesn't break. Add the mustard, salt and lemon.
Add the grapeseed oil, again being careful not to break the
yolk. Insert the stick blender, be sure that the blades completely
cover the yolk.
Blend – after a couple of seconds you'll see white ribbons
rising through the oil. Slowly pull the blender up through the oil
so it amalgamates and push down again to incorporate all the oil.
Variations on a theme :
For a French mayonnaise swap the lemon juice
for white wine vinegar, keep the remaining ingredients
Smoked mayo – stir in a few drops of smoke flavouring
substitute cider vinegar for the white wine vinegar
The choice is yours!
Optional extras anyone?
Add any of the following for a fruit and nut hit :
30g ready to eat apricots, finely diced
30g sultanas soaked in mango and apple juice
1 eating apple of your choice – quartered and
chopped
30g of chopped nuts – walnuts or brazils
Now for the protein choices …
