Ingredients
(1 serving)
- 180g salmon (I used wild-caught sockeye salmon)
- ½ cucumber (organic if you choose to keep the skin)
- Lettuce or green salad of choice
- ½ apple (organic if you choose to keep the skin)
- ¼ onion, finely sliced
- Salt, black pepper & olive oil
Basil & Parsley Sauce
- 2 handfuls of fresh basil
- 20g fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Optional: salt & black pepper
Method
- Heat some olive oil in a skillet. Cook the salmon. I added some dried thyme and chili flakes, but they are optional.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by placing all the sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until well-combined. The sauce will have the consistency of a vinaigrette.
- Wash and cut the cucumber and apple into cubes.
- Combine all the greens and salmon into a bowl. Toss with the basil & parsley sauce.
Benefits
SALMON
One of the richest sources of omega-3 (in the form of DHA and EPA) and vitamin D, an essential vitamin for the immune system.
SALAD, CUCUMBERS & ONION
This potent diuretic combo will provide the body with good hydration while maximizing toxin elimination and helping with cellulite and water retention.
APPLE
A gut microbiome’s favorite. Apples are packed with soluble fiber that keeps in check the bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) and preserves gut health.
BASIL & PARSLEY SAUCE
A refreshing and functional sauce packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Parsley is rich in vitamin K and vitamin C, while basil is an adaptogen and helps regulate the body’s response to stress. This sauce will overall improve blood flow and will help cleanse the body from the inside.
