Your Day 18 Making Time challenge:
For 18 minutes… prepare a delicious salad from scratch
There’s something incredibly special about eating a salad that’s been lovingly prepared – every ingredient hand picked, washed, peeled and carefully chopped. Nutritious and delicious it’s nature’s garden on a plate and you feel healthier justmaking it!
Today, take 18 minutes to prepare a salad from scratch. Enjoy the creative process of creating something special from whole raw ingredients.
Admire and appreciate the different colours of the vegetables and fruits you use: the dark red of a sweet bell pepper; the deep purple of a red onion, the variation of red and green lettuce; sunshine yellow tomatoes. Notice the different textures – the hard crunchiness of a carrot compared to the smooth soft flesh of an avocado and the different flavours and how they complement each other.
Look at what you’ve made and appreciate the beauty in the way it looks. Then taketime to sit down and tuck in! Savour each mouthful – the juicy freshness of each ingredient and think about all the vitamins you’re putting into your body.
