Blood Orange and Red Onion Salad
A fantastic summertime recipe that is certainly much different than the usual “bring a green salad to the party” which is delicious and has that wow-factor!
Ingredients
- ÂĽ small red onion (very thinly sliced)
- ÂĽ cup rice wine vinegar
- Maldon salt and freshly ground white pepper
- 4 blood oranges (can use Navel, Tangerines or a combo!)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons torn basil leaves
- 1/3 cup oil-cured Kalamata olives - remove pits (picture doesn’t have the olives but thats how we make it pop!)
Directions
-
In a bowl, toss the red onion with the vinegar and season with Maldon salt and white pepper. Let stand at room temperature until softened, 15 minutes. Drain.
-
Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, peel the oranges, removing all of the bitter white pith. Thinly slice the oranges crosswise, removing any pits. Arrange the oranges on a nice oval platter and scatter the red onion on top. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with Maldon salt and white pepper. Garnish with olives, basil and serve. Yum!!

Every day I make at least one smoothie.

Blender or Smoothie-maker (I use a Nutribullet)
Ingredients:
- Frozen Strawberries (filled to the max)

I also try and make a daily smoothie Matt. Some other ingredients you could try out are lettuce, orange juice, and bananas. Adds some additional vitamins and the orange juice helps thin out the end product.

I found one of the best ways to improve the healthiness of a meal is to reduce salt and sodium. And a great way to do that is to substitute Mrs. Dash for salt. The flavors are great and I don’t miss salt at all. One benefit is my blood pressure is way down in the normal zone. With all the stressors we have in selling, keeping your blood pressure in check is a top priority.

Simple roast chicken with whatever spices you have and a bit of salt and avocado oil. Thaw the chicken and then marinate if possible in a mix of spices and salt with a generous dash of lemon. Throw them in a preheated oven at 375F and bake for 25 mins (turn once) and then 10 mins of broiling / roasting in the end to get a crispy texture …. Never goes wrong and you get a healthy snack ready to gorge with your choice of bread salad, rice.

I cook chicken all the time, but rarely (if ever) prioritize marinade. This post reminded me to do that. 
Spinach curry is the healthy food that I love to make. it is full of iron.
Spinach with eggcurry is the healthy food that I love to make. it is full of iron.
