salad power

Seared ahi tuna salad with rasberry balsamic dressing

I usually make salad two to three times a week. Salad fuels and help boost my runs. It's packed with vitamins and minerals that my body needs.

This is one of my favourite salad. It's made with lollo rosso, beetroot, tomatoes, yellow peppers and seared tuna. Organic fresh ingredients are the key here. Make sure the vegetables are fresh and pesticide-free.

weekend thunderstorm

A huge and loud thunderstorm hit Chicago this weekend. It's been really hot and stormy, which means lots of salads and smoothies to keep me out of a hot kitchen.

Sunday's farmers' market was nice. We had some crepes. Robin had some roasted veggies with turkey and I had some salmon with pears, it was delicious. We also bought some organic goat cheese and cottage cheese and some fresh veggies for salads.

Note: I am lactose intolerant but I can eat goat cheese sparingly because they are low in lactose and they're easily digested than cow's milk. I used cottage cheese on Robin's salad.
