This post from the muse kitchen shouldn't intimidate anyone. I am serious.
You really don't have to be adept at anything in the kitchen to pull this one off gang.
I am love, love, lovin' fresh greens.
In fact, I'm a little obsessed.
Ready for the ingredients for this recipe?
I swear, you don't even need to write it down.
That's it.
It's that simple.
I like mine with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Sometimes a touch of balsamic vinegar. Dash of salt and pepper and give me a biggo plate of the stuff. It may not be Friday, but I'm in love.
I could eat this at every meal..
OK, so I have been eating this at every meal.
Got a problem with that?
This morning I had an egg on top.
Um..............YUM.
Last night we had it with gnocchi and cheese on the side.
Yes, please.
Here's the bonus.
Watercress is an anti-cancer superfood that can reduce damage to your cells. Bring it on.
Arugula? Well, it's a rich source of certain phytochemicals, which also combat cancer causing elements in the body as well as being full of vitamins A, C, and K (which supports brain and bone health) and folic acid. How very nice of you, arugula.
Frisee is also packed with Vitamin C and has antioxidant qualities which can reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases. How about an A to the M to the E to the N?
They are also all very low in calories.
Nice.
Personally, all of that stuff is a bonus for me, because I just think they taste great. Awesome bonus though, right?
Are you as obsessed with fresh greens as me (you can add kale and spinach to my list too) or am I getting my greens freak on all by myself?
What have you been lovin' in the kitchen lately?
Hope you have a fantastic Thursday filled with a ton of goodness like the fresh greens.
Ciao for now,
I went out for a sandwich with a friend yesterday, and mine had lots of cress. I told her: I should get this myself, cause it tastes really good! So I added this to my shopping list :-) And I love that serving tray!
ReplyDeletegreat minds think alike. and who knew watercress packed such a power punch. here't the thing about the serving tray. it was my grams. it is what I would guess is chromeplated. but it got some deterioration areas that were rusted. bummed me out. so i painted it with chalkboard paint and I use it to write seasonal messages in my kitchen.
DeleteSo...I've,never seen arugula or watercress in Australian supermarkets....:(
