My take on Mediterranean Kiwi and Cucumber Salad. ๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ˜‹โค๏ธ๐ŸŒบ

โ€ข32 Replies

Hello everyone, hope you have a joyful Sunday so far! ๐Ÿค—

Today Iโ€™m making Mediterranean Salad incorporate with many spices I love and it turns out deliciously.

I used kiwis, cucumbers, vegan Violife feta block (Free from dairy, gluten, soy) which has vitB12 30%โค๏ธ

The salad dressing is the key: olive oil, tahini, Zaatar seasoning, lemon juice, pepper, white sesame, fresh dill, and a bit celery salt.

I like my salad dressing separate from kiwis and cucumbers until served to avoid sogginess.

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! ๐Ÿ˜‹โค๏ธ

I am glad you enjoyed the Violife feta block, I have not tried that particular one yet - only there mature block but as that was so yummy, I will have to try the feta block as well.

I will definately be posting more food up and look forward to seeing your stunning creations as always ๐Ÿ˜

I loved the mature block as I baked macaroni for my little cousin and I just tried feta block so yummy too and fits my health conditions. Go for it Debs. ๐Ÿ‘

Yes ๐Ÿ‘ I had a salad just like you. Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, some crotons added to lettuce and carrots cabbage. Threw on some ham for protein

โ€ข in reply toKainan

I think Parmesan cheese was what threw me off the first time I had Cesar salad and then I never wanted again. Not on pizza or anything. Plus Iโ€™m lactose intolerant so cheese is very selective for me. Enjoy your salad ๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

Thank you Happyman4! ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™I am sensing you are going to create some interesting version of salad ๐Ÿฅ— soon! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

Itโ€™s not your mobile fault, I think the network was acting up for a minute. ๐Ÿค”

Hi GreatMindfulness,

You've made a very interesting dish! First time of Kiwi fruit being made with a salad!

Looks very refreshing..

And its shows that you had fun concocting this dish.

Thank you for sharing xx

Hi TaurusLady,

Thank you for saying that, itโ€™s very kind of you!๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™

Yes, I love the green elements for summer refreshing type of salad and some healthy vegan cheese. I had fun with testing the salad dressing and it works beautifully for this type of fruit salad.

Youโ€™re welcome and hope you have a wonderful week ahead! ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒบ

Thanks for the welcome. I am looking forward to making this.

Thank you Anime45 for saying that and Welcome to HE! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™

Itโ€™s a refreshing Summer salad and I hope you enjoy making it sometimes. ๐Ÿ˜‹

Have a lovely Sunday! ๐Ÿ•Šโ˜ฎ๏ธ๐ŸŒบ

Youโ€™re welcome. What is your style of cooking? What do you usually like making? ๐Ÿ˜Š

I can see you invest in making your meals by reading and creating variety of dishes.๐Ÿ‘ŒTo me, any type of traditional food has a heavy side to it and I tend to steer away by incorporating more international ingredients into my dish.

Iโ€™m glad you pick and choose carefully your takeouts from restaurants.๐Ÿ‘

Do you follow any particular type of diet according to your health needs? I myself just started gluten-free diet to eliminate all possible causes to my hormone imbalance condition.

Iโ€™m glad you are proactive with your diet tailored to your health condition now. ๐Ÿ‘ According to Harvard public health, โ€œEverything in moderationโ€ is a useless advice. There are things we need to eat a lot and things we need to completely cut out from our diets such as sugar or processed food where moderation intake is dangerous.

I was tested for Coeliac also and the test was negative but i also read that false negatives are common and what we need is to experimenting with our food and monitor our health progress. 9 out of 10 cells in our bodies depend on whatโ€™s in our guts. We have to be mindful about everything.

You are absolutely right, healthy mind and body should be going hands in hands. I think we are on the same path of healthy food enlightenment and Best wishes to you! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒบ

Iโ€™m sure with great awareness, youโ€™ll manage just fine. ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐ŸŒบ
