Spicy super salad

This is the spicy super salad with home made honey and mustard dressing, it's a tasty and healthy salad that will fill you up on a lunch in the office: ladies take note!  It's quick and easy to make, and it's also a great side dish for any dinner/party, or party buffet.

Ingredients: lunch time portion for one

• 1/2 courgette 
• 1/2 red pepper
• 1/2 green pepper 
• 1/2 medium spice red chili
• 1/4 cucumber 
• Handful of spinach
• 1/2 tin of chick peas
• Dash of home made honey and mustard dressing

Method:

1. Add the spinach and chick peas in to your lunch box
2. Using a standard cheese grater, grate 1/2 a courgette (or more if you really like courgettes) in to the box
3. Chop up your red and green pepper, red chili and cucumber.  Add to the box and cling film the other halves of for another day
4. Drizzle some home made honey and mustard dressing on top, close the lid and shake the box around so all the ingredients are mixed.
   NB: make sure you keep your salad in the fridge!

If you want to use this salad for a dinner/party, or buffet dinner just times the ingredients by how many people are attending.  For four people you would multiply all the ingredients by four, so you would have x2 red peppers, x2 green pepper, x2 tins of chick peas, x2 medium spice red chilies, x1 cucumber, x2 courgettes and a big handful of spinach. 

Om nom omelette

I started this bikini body diet type malarky in preparation for my holiday in Barcelona, we've all tried these diets at least once in our life times so I figured I would share a few of my healthy recipes that fit in with the diet.
So, this is the mini omelette I had for lunch a few days ago with a slice of rye bread.


Ingredients -
2 eggs
Splash of semi-skimmed milk
Salt
Pepper
Oregano
Basil
Handful of Kale
1 Tomato
1/4 courgette


Method -
NB - switch on your grill to high heat first!
1. Chop your vegetables and dry fry them in a small pan with oregano and basil- Tefal have some great small pans that are really handy for fried eggs and small one person dishes.
2. In a bowl, mix the eggs, salt, pepper and milk and then add to the pan.  Cook for about 10 minutes on a medium heat, then place under the grill.
3. Remember to wear an oven glove when you pull the omelette out from under the grill, serve with rye bread, baked beans or salad.


If any of you have ever been on bikini body diets then please share any tips and tricks that you have below, I would really appreciate it.
