Then you can take this simple granola to an airtight container and use it for your breakfasts or snacks. This granola could be also cooked with nuts.

Do you want it to be even healthier? Also, add a pinch or two of turmeric powder to the mix.<\/p><p style=\"font-family: Barlow; font-size: 18px;\">Serve your hummus with carrot, pepper and\/or cucumber cut into strips and you will have a perfect snack.<\/p><p style=\"font-family: Barlow; font-size: 18px;\">Do you prefer fruit instead?

Remove the bay leaf, blend everything and you will only have to prepare one serving.<\/p><p>You already know your dish is going to taste delicious but if you also want it to look beautiful add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil a few pumpkin seeds to your cream.<\/p><p>Remember to let the rest of the leek cream cool out completely and divide it into about 3 more serving for another time.

This way you the consistency will be much like ice cream and there is nothing more refreshing and delicious than that.<\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dinner_Salad_with_typical_Mediterranean_products\"><\/span>Dinner: Salad with typical Mediterranean products.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>Salad is, no doubt, the most characteristic dish within any Mediterranean menu. There are plenty to choose from and there is no recipe that can be made faster. What do you need for this one?<\/p><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ingredients-5\"><\/span>Ingredients:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><ul><li>Arugula and lamb&#8217;s lettuce (or other green leaves)<\/li><li>1 tomato (or a handful of cherry tomatoes)<\/li><li>40 g feta cheese<\/li><li>7 olives<\/li><li>\u00bd apple (optional)<\/li><li>2 figs (optional)<\/li><li>15 g almonds (optional)<\/li><li>\u00bd tsp sea salt<\/li><li>\u00bc tsp pepper<\/li><li>1 Tbs of lemon juice or vinegar<\/li><li>1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil<\/li><\/ul><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Instructions-5\"><\/span>Instructions:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>The base of your salad will be arugula and lamb&#8217;s lettuce, and if you want to add an extra Vitamin C booster you can always mince a piece of raw broccoli that will also give it crunchy touch.<\/p><p>Then add olives, feta cheese and sliced tomato. And if you want a sweet touch in your salad, choose to incorporate some fruit such as apple or figs.<\/p><p>Have you exercised and need a higher protein intake? Consider adding a boiled egg or a tin of canned sardines, choose the ones preserved in olive oil, even if you are going to remove it.<\/p><p>If you wish, you can additionally add dried fruit of your choice. In this case, almonds are an ideal and very healthy option, but you can add sunflower seeds if you prefer.<\/p><p>And now you just have to prepare the vinaigrette consisting of extra virgin olive oil, lemon (or apple cider vinegar), salt and pepper. It could not be easier. Add it to your plate and you will have it ready to serve.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/treurer.com\/en\/olive-oil-gourmet\/\">Check out more Mediterranean diet recipes in our gourmet section<\/a>.
