AVOCADO WATERMELON SALAD WITH LEMON PEPPER DRESSING

Crunchy, fresh, sweet, savory, tasty, healthy.  If there is anything I love its having fresh salad. Nothing beats vibrant colours staring at you just waiting for you to munch down. I gave you a dessert in the last recipe so I thought I would go all healthy on you, but still keeping it 100% delicious for #AvocadoAugust! Salads come in different forms and you can choose to have yours with as little or as much ingredients as your heart desires. To get the best out of salads, you can use flavoured vinegar. Put herb sprigs like tarragon, basil, Rosemary and thyme into white wine vinegar and leave for 1 month before use. Nuts add texture interest as well as flavour to salads. They also provide protein. You can try hazlenuts, pecan, peanuts, almonds and even pistaschio in salads to give it crunch. Avocado gives this salad that rich creaminess and smooth texture while the lemon pepper dressing brings it to full circle. Simple ingredients yet big flavours is what you get from this delicious salad. What are some of your favourite salad toppings?

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR SALADS

Hey Lovelies,
It being a lazy Sunday I decided to just find some fun facts for you guys about food. Today I'll be giving you the low down on salads. We all know what salads are and most if not all of us love to eat different kinds of salads with our meals. I always thought that serving salads came with a set of rules that had to be followed, apparently not. Salads can be served at whatever point of meal taking. They do not have to be served as a side dish with meals or before eating meals. I only knew of fruit salads, vegetable salads, pasta salads and egg salads. But there are more and even different types of salads.I want to try and make a few of them depending on the ingredients that I will find. Making salads is a fun thing because you get to mix and match your ingredients and add in herbs, oils, spices and even liquids of your choice to make the ultimate delicious salad. Are there any salads that you recognize from the list of salads below? Have you tried any of the salads in the list?

CUCUMBER SALAD WITH LEMON HONEY DRESSING

Hey Lovelies,
Ever eaten a salad that you could eat all day everyday? No? Well you should try my cucumber salad with lemon honey dressing! It beats all other salads that I have had so far. Its got crunch, its got spice, its got tangyness, its got sweetness, the best part is that its filled with freshness and all the earthy flavours of fresh vegetables. The lemon honey dressing does more than just intensify the flavours, it infuses its own kind of glory.If there was a perfect match made on this earth, it would be this cucumber salad and this lemon honey dressing. This is a great way to get everyone to enjoy and eat their salad. Serve with grilled food to balance out the flavours or as a side to your dinners, better still you can even eat it on its own like I almost did lol!
