Fresh N' Easy


After the disappointment of the leek and potato soup, I am happy to say I had success with the next meal. The very simple Cod Salad was delicious.

This is what you need:

Really anything you like and want to make the base of your salad. I used romaine hearts, spinach, red leaf lettuce, endives, green onion, shallots, mushrooms, carrots, cucumber and avocado.

This is what you do:

I like chopped salads so I chopped the romaine hearts, red leaf lettuce and endives really well. I julienned the carrots, and sliced up the green onion, shallots, mushrooms cucumber and avocado. I also mixed a bit of oregano, dill, and rosemary for a seasoning and mix it in well with everything.

I made a really great dressing from scratch.

This is what you need:

These measurements are approximate since I was making it up as I went along

1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon grain mustard
1 table spoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
pinch salt & pepper
1/14 cup of natural yogurt

mix it all together and taste if it's to vinegary or mustardy, add olive oil. If it's to oily add more mustard.

I then covered a fresh piece of cod in lemon juice & dill weed. I sprinkled red pepper flakes and salt & pepper on top. In a hot pan heat some oil and grill the fish on both sides for approximately 4 minutes each.

Mix the dressing in with the salad, and place the pice of cod on top of the salad.


That's a really quick, easy and healthy meal!
