Salad with strawberries and seeds
Friday is Valentine's Day (February 14th). And for many, strawberries are very romantic fruits. The intense color red alone makes you want more. Strawberries are also considered “natural aphrodisiacs” because of their high vitamin C and zinc content.
I don't know whether this can be measurably proven, but strawberries are definitely healthy, support the immune system and protect against cardiovascular diseases with their secondary plant substances and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Although they taste so sweet, strawberries are very low in fructose and calories (around 33 kcal per 100 g) and contain more vitamin C than oranges or lemons. Just around 200 g of strawberries cover an adult's average daily vitamin C requirement.
Plus, strawberries taste and smell so good!
Ingredients
200 g fresh spinach
150 g fresh strawberries
2 - 3 Tbsp lettuce seeds
1 organic lemon
1 cm fresh ginger
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp honey
Preparation
Wash, dry and tear the spinach.
Wash, clean and cut the strawberries into pieces.
Place the spinach and strawberries in a large bowl.
To make the dressing, place the olive oil and honey in a small bowl.
Grate some lemon peel, then halve the lemon, squeeze it and add the juice of half a lemon to the small bowl.
Peel the ginger and grate it into the small bowl for the dressing.
Mix the dressing thoroughly and pour over the salad.
Roast the lettuce seeds in a pan.
Arrange the salad on the plates and garnish with the freshly roasted lettuce seeds.
PS:
Here in Iceland, these sweet fruits grow in geothermal greenhouses, so you can enjoy fresh, locally grown strawberries practically all year round and don't have to wait for the strawberry season from May to July.
