WHEATBERRY, QUINOA, BUTTERNUT, SHIITAKE AND SALMON SALAD (OKINAWA DIET, THE EASY WAY)
Normally mid-October, you would found me cooking comfy and healthy soups but with this gorgeous weather we have in London (a little bit cold I reckon…), I prefer to stay with my salads but a little bit more nourishing! Nearly everywhere you might spot some orangery colors in markets or supermarkets. Yes, it is the cucurbitaceae’s time. But what a pain in the atmosphere it is to cut, I dislike it so much that sometimes, I do not prefer to cook them. Luckily, I have found some already cut and frozen. 35 minutes in the oven and voila! It’s ready. I do recommend you those as you will save so much time and fear of cutting yourself… As it is labelled, ingredients are presents in the Okinawa diet.
