Light and Tasty

I have been trying for quite long to have better eating habits and quite honestly I am pretty comfortable backing up in my fast metabolism, but truth is … I am almost 28 and I need to start taking care of my body in the inside as well as the outside…

So, I´d like to share with you some tasty light recipes I have gotten or created and where taste does not compete with nutritious…

Red Cabbage and Green Apple Salad

·         ½ green cabbage

·         ½ red cabbage

·         2 apples sliced thin, and cut into small squared ( I go for grand smith)

·         ¾  cup toasted and chopped pecans

·         ¾ cup dried cranberries

Dressing:

·         3 red wine vinegar tablespoons

·         1 honey tablespoon

·         1 spicy mustard tablespoon ( I get the Dijon kind with seeds)

·         ¼ olive oil cup

·         Salt and pepper to taste

This one is pretty simple, just mix it all and I like to pour the dressing all over it, I am not a huge fan of cabbage but this one… kills me!!! Hahahaha, I used to live with this lovely friend from Texas and she would made it and leave it for me in the fridge and when I got home from work… it´ll be heaven! And it just makes a lot, so it´s cheap J

Fresh Spinach Salad

·         A package of Popeye´s fresh, washed and disinfected spinach

·         Cherry tomatoes

·         A bunch of toasted half cut almonds

·         Mandarine

·         Goat chesse ( I like the one that is covered on ashes)

·         A bunch of cranberries

·         Balsamic Vinegar

·         Pepper to taste

I love this salad because it is pretty fresh and super quick J
