Salads perfect for spring

Hi everyone, I have been in a salad mood lately, at least here in Barcelona we are having some nice and sunny spring days and I guess I'm just bored of the winter food and I just want to jump on the fresh and light food we eat during spring and summer hehehe. So today I will show you three options for everyone, one is for omnivores, another one for vegetarian and the last one for vegans :) I hope you like them.

The amount are up to you ;)

Procedure

• Cut the apple into the shape that you prefer
• Cut the lettuce in medium size pieces
• Cut the cheese into tiny pieces
• Smash the rasperries and some maple syrup to cut the sourness
• Mix all the ingredients togethers and there you have this awesome salad, this is more like a side dish salad, not a main dish.

Fresh tuna salad (1 serving)

Potatoes and broccoli salad

4-5 Small potatoes

A good amount of broccoli

1/4 Onion

Some nuts or croutons

4 Tbsp of lemon juice

1 Tbsp of olive oil

Salt to taste

Process

• Boil the potatoes until they are cooked, don't let them get too soft, use small potatoes for better results.
• Using the steam from the potatoes steam the broccoli this way you will get a vibrant green coloured broccoli and it will be cooked but not mushy.
• Wait until the potatoes and the broccoli are fully cooled down.
• In a bowl put together all the ingredients and enjoy!
