Its warming up nicely here in my neck of the woods. Hi friends! I’m back with another Mediterranean inspired salad. My other popular Mediterranean salad was a huge hit on Instagram and Facebook, it was reposted, shared several hundred times. It makes me so happy to see people made the salad and enjoyed. Thank you for sharing all your pictures. I have feeling you’ll love this too. If you haven’t tried it, here is the recipe..<\/a>….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is nice to see more n more people choosing wholesome fresh ingredients and talking control of their wellbeing. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I get asked do I live only on veggies and salads? the answer is yes and no. Like a lot of people I went through all the pseudo diets to stay healthy. But as expected none lasted long because they were not satisfying and left me craving for more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YES<\/strong> I do eat a lot infact, a major portion of my plate is veggies. Ive stopped counting calories, I just make sure my plate has lots of colors and real ingredients. No processed fake foods. I balance it with good healthy fats, some protein and wholegrain. Gone are the days I would run a mile from fats or grains. I just choose better quality ingredients and eat everything in small moderate quantities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NO<\/strong> I don’t just eat veggies I eat small-moderate amounts of sweets, cheese, grains, fish and meats on occasions. I don’t believe in cheat days, just treat myself when I feel like in small portions. My mother tells me food will be there tomorrow and the day after, you don’t have to eat it all now and today. That stuck with me and I remind myself every time I want to go for seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enough of that. Lets talk about this salad. This salad has all the delicious ingredients of the Mediterranean region with quinoa in the mix, making it a wholesome hearty midweek dinner and lunch the next day. You can serve this as is or add grilled chicken or fish to make it a more substantial meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
