Today, I want to give you a lovely salad recipe that I love making at least once a week! I put everything good in it : protein, carbs, vitamins etc...just go for it and it's very easy to make. I will give you a beauty tip at the end too.
For the salad you will need: (2-3 servings):
- Bay Gem salad or any green leaves you may have in the fridge
- 6 or 7 cherry tomatoes or another type
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 cucumber
- 1/2 chorizo
- 3 - 4 baby potatoes
- 1 shallot or red onion
- 2 eggs
To make your vinaigrette, in a deep bowl, add salt and pepper, 1 tsp of mustard and mix it with 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar. Once the mustard is well mixed with the vinegar, add 3 tbsp of oil (you can add olive oil if you want but I prefer normal oil) and mix until thicken.
When this is done, mix all the vegetables that you would have diced or cut as you wish, together.
In a pan, fry for 5 minutes some slices of chorizo. Don't add any butter or oil as all the fat from the chorizo will come out in the pan! Watch out not to burn it though! When cooked, set aside and remove as much fat as possible with some kitchen paper.
Peel the potatoes and cut them in small cubes. Rinse them thoroughly so the starch can go away then dry them with some kitchen paper.
In a pan, heat slowly 10gr of butter and 1 tbsp of oil. When the butter has nicely melted, add the potatoes and cover your pan so the humidity cook the inside of your potatoes. Add salt and pepper and you could also add a bit of garlic.Toss them regularly and let them cook for about 10 mins or until brown and cooked inside. When they are cooked inside, you can remove the lid so they get a nice crispy coat! add butter or oil if you think it's needed. When cooked, set aside.
Boil some water, add some salt and add the 2 eggs. The cooking is as your liking: If you want them cooked on the outside but a bit runny in the inside, cook them for 5 mins. If you prefer proper boiled eggs, then 10 mins will be fine!
Toss all the vegetables and chorizo with the vinaigrette. Add a bit of shallots cut finely or red onion if you prefer. Serve in a plate and I personally add the potatoes at the end on top of the salad and the egg cut in half.
Enjoy!
Beauty Tip : Avocado Face Mask if you have dry skin or it could give you a nice glow!
If you have a ripe avocado in the fridge and you don't know what to do with it or if you have too much, use it to make your own Face Mask!
You will need 1/2 avocado, 1 tbsp of natural honey, 1 tbsp of natural yogurt and some cucumber if you want some left!
Mash the avocado until creamy. Add 1 tbsp of honey to the avocado mash, the honey will kill the germs on the skin and reduce swelling. Put the tbsp of yogurt which will act as a cleanser. Cut 2 slices of cucumber.
Apply the avocado mask on your skin for about 15 mins + place the cucumber over your eyes.
Rinse thoroughly with warm water at the end and dry gently.
