Tasty additions so summer salads
With summer coming on, salads are becoming popular again, so I thought I would share some simple ways to make a salad a bit more interesting.
Nuts and Seeds such as almonds, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, etc don't have to be used plain. Try:
* Dry roasting in an oven, or add olive oil and salt and roast.
* Toast in a lightly oiled pan.
* Sprinkle with Tamari or Coconut Aminos, mix through and roast in oven until dry and toasted.
* Try flavouring sunflower or almonds as follows. Mix together 2 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp lime juice, and 1 tsp ground cumin. Mix through the nuts or seeds and roast until dry and toasted.
Top salads with nuts and seeds just before serving, to add different flavours and textures. A great addition to green, beetroot, quinoa, rice or any other salad combination.
* Black Cumin Seeds, Nigella Sativa, also add an interesting flavour. They can be dry toasted until they become fragrant, then sprinkled on salads, or they can be added to a dressing. This is my favourite!

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
