Super Greens Salad Dressing & Bonus Salad Recipe Recipe

Preparing your Salad Dressing Ingredients

Prep your Veg!

We first need to peel and chop your immunity boosting Butternut Squash into rough squares before we get around to seasoning and popping in the oven. There is no need to peel your Beetroot, but you should shop that into rough shapes, too!

Safely halving your Avocado!

If you already followed our Superfood Smoothie Recipe then you should already be up to speed with this, but for those who haven’t gotten around tot hat one just yet, here’s your guide to safely halving your avocado:

1. Cut Around: Place the avocado on its side on a cutting board. Hold it steady with one hand, keeping your fingers clear of the blade. Slice lengthwise until you feel the knife hit the pit. Then, rotate the avocado, keeping the knife in place, to cut all the way around the pit.
2. Twist Apart: Put down the knife and hold the avocado with both hands. Twist the two halves in opposite directions to separate them, revealing the pit.
3. Remove the Pit:Quick tip from an avocado pro – when trying to remove the pip, grab the avocado half pip side up in your hand and gently squeeze. This will pop the pip out without having to use a knife or spoon to pry it out. 
4. Peel the Avocado: Either peel the skin off with your fingers or use a dessert spoon to scoop out the flesh. Slide the spoon along the inside of the skin to remove the flesh in one piece.

Washing your Spinach

Most shop-bought spinach will be abled as ‘pre-washed’, but as a precaution it’s always best to give them a quick was to avoid any unpleasantness ruining your delicious Salad Dressing! Here’s how:

1. Wash your hands: 20. seconds of thorough hand washing will have you ready to go!
2. Remove undesirable leaves: Examine your spinach and discard any moldy, brown or wet leaves – you can use a knife to remove any nasty black spots or holes from otherwise healthy leaves.
3. Soak the leaves: Put your leaves in a bowl and fill it with cool water – leave it in there for about 5 minutes, occasionally stirring and rubbing the leaves to get rid of any dirt. (TOP TIP: Add some white vinegar to the mix to enhance your cleaning!)

Red Onion Prep

Want to hear a secret about red onions? If you chop them and leave them to soak in water whilst you finish the rest of your salad, it takes away the strong flavour/ smell and gives them a more enjoyable taste and texture!

and finally…
