Make the kitchen a healing space

Thai green papaya salad

June 18, 2018 · Lunch recipe, Salad recipe · Leave a Comment

This is one of my favourite salads and I always order it when I go to Thai restaurants. Home version is obviously much tastier and healthier. Exotic and refreshing and you can determine how spicy you want it to be.
For 4 servings

  • 1 cup green papaya, in fine julienne
  • 1 cup cucumber, in fine julienne
  • 1 cup carrot, in fine julienne
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • A large handful of Thai basil, torn
  • A large handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped
  • 1 red chilli, sliced
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds

For the dressing

  • Juice from 1-11/2 limes
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Himalaya salt to taste

 

  1. Place all the salad ingredients in a large salad bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl mix the dressing ingredients and pour over the salad. Mix well, you might have to use your hands to separate the vegetables strings and spread the dressing evenly.

MY WEEKLY TIP

COOKING CRISIS

 

Staring at the open fridge

Staring at the open fridge

Have you ever found yourself staring at your open fridge or larder, scanning the products and ingredients and have absolutely no idea what to make with them, or what do you feel like eating?
And what if this situation repeats itself again and again over a period of time?
Well, you are experiencing a ‘cooking crisis’. It happens to the best of cooks!
Here are some key strategy solutions to over come the crisis:
1. Go back to basics, opt for the most simple recipes that always work.
2. Make a list of your all time favourites and stick to them for some time till you feel creativity is crawling back.
3. Focus on one ingredient you have or feel like eating and look for recipes using it as the main ingredient.
4. Think of what type of dish you feel like eating; soup, salad, burgers, pie etc. and look for a recipe for that.
5. Cook together with friends and family or initiate potluck dinners. Sharing cooking and eating with others can inspire you and boost your creativity in the kitchen.
