Fulfilling Salad

One whole meal salad :)

Salads are one of the easiest dishes to make. All you have to do is cut, slice, maybe boil or steam a bit here and there and voila you have something to eat. It doesn't require chef talent, just chopping skills and basic logic. Not only that, your body needs veggies so it's pretty much healthy for you.


At most times, salads are normally considered as a light snack or appetizer. Here, a thought came into my mind, "hey, why not make the salad into a whole one stop meal?" It could work I suppose. Kids might like this since most of them are on anti-veggie side.


So, one morning I gave it a go. I only used extra virgin oil and garlic for the main dressing and it was delicious and fulfilling. Fulfilling as in by the end of the meal, my stomach was full but not stuffed. Simply just right.


Here's my recipe and what I did, hope you enjoy this one ^^


Ingredients:

1. Broccoli.
2. Carrots.
3. Lettuce.
4. Tomatoes.
5. Cucumber.
6. Fusilli.
7. Chicken sausage or Chicken Breast.
8. Salt and Pepper/Black Pepper to taste.
9. 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
10. 1-2 small cloves of garlic
*I usually measure the quantity of the veggies with my hands. A handful is enough for one person, two or more for more people.


Step by Step:
1. Slice the vegetables and finely mince the garlic.
2. Boil the chicken sausage together with the fusilli. If you're using chicken breast, boil it first then add in the fusilli. Don't forget to add in a pinch of salt.
3. Once boiled (about 15minutes), take out  the chicken breast or chicken sausage and slice it up.
4. Turn off the heat.
5. Put the vegetables into the hot water for about a minute to soften the vegetables (if you prefer because not many are comfortable with eating raw).
6. Pour in the extra virgin olive oil and mix it with the minced garlic on a serving plate or in a salad bowl.
7. Put in your sliced vegetables and chicken breast or chicken sausage.
8. Mix it well and add a pinch of salt and black pepper.
9. If you prefer, add any type of cheese.


For the final words, don't forget to eat a little bit of chewing gum at the end of the meal. The garlic does things to your mouth hehe.


Nonetheless, enjoy and happy eating ^^
