#6. Warm salad with beans and spinach

But in this recipe, soy sauce is used for the sake of taste.

Ingredients (for 4 servings):

Beans boiled in salted water (chickpeas or any lentils) - can be replaced with canned analogues 14.11oz

Medium carrots 2 pcs

Large zucchini 1 piece

Broccoli 1 head

Fresh spinach 3.53oz

Garlic 3 cloves

Olive oil 5 tablespoons

Soy sauce 3 tablespoons

Instruction:

If the beans are dry: soak them overnight in cold water. Cook in salted water until tender (the cooking time depends on the type of beans-see the instructions on the package).

If the beans are out of the jar: peel the carrots. Finely chop the garlic. Cut all the vegetables, except for the spinach. I used a special machine for cutting vegetables into strips. I highly recommend buying it, because such slicing incredibly decorates any dish. Plus, such vegetables can be safely used instead of spaghetti.

Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan. Fry a little carrots, zucchini and broccoli with garlic. They should not be browned (only about 3-4 minutes on medium heat). A minute before cooking, add the spinach, micro-greens and mix everything well. Remove from the heat and put all the vegetables in a deep dish, add the beans. Season with the remaining oil and soy sauce( or sea salt), mix well.

Attention! if you use soy sauce, then you don't need to salt it anymore, because the soy sauce is already salty.

#7.White cabbage salad and microgreen parsley

This is a delicious salad-easy to prepare and just a storehouse of vitamin products.

White cabbage 8.82oz

Large carrots 2 pcs

Dried cranberries 1.5 tablespoons

Chia seeds 2 tablespoons

Rapeseed oil 2 tablespoons

juice of 1/2 lemon

Sea salt to taste

Microgreen parsley 4 tablespoons

Instruction:

Rub the carrots on a coarse grater. Finely chop the cabbage and pepper. Mix the lemon juice and oil with salt and season the vegetables with them. Sprinkle the cranberries, microgreen parsley and chia seeds on top. Bon Appetit!

How to use  recipes:

If you are seriously thinking about improving the body, you can use one of these healthy recipes a day. I am sure that changes in health and appearance will not take long.

Of course, it is most healthy to eat microgreens fresh, immediately after cutting. However, if you have an "overabundance of production", you may well store it in the refrigerator in a plastic container for 3-4 days.

But it is not worth subjecting the microgreens to heat treatment (especially long–term) - the vast majority of useful substances will simply collapse.
