Fruity Salad - with Apple, Fig, Walnut and Honey

As you guys know, salads are one among my latest research dishes and most of them were veggie/meat bowls, I discovered as the main course for lunch. I came to know from my friends that they loved those recipes and was a big hit at their homes.Coming into the factor that salad being the main course, it may feel a little awkward first time, but you don't know a salad can be so satisfying, filling and healthy alternative to many other main courses. So if you are on a diet and your appetite is more, grab a salad bowl which can help you keeping full for a longer time.

So coming back to this recipe, this was my trial for a fruity bowl, which of course is not my main course, but an appetite breaker and if you feel to just munch over, and not to add more calories.

Apple is really a fat burner as many of you know, so I made it the base or the critical guy for this mission, and of course, fig is such a fruit well known for it nutrition and the soft supple fruit is really good to bite over in the salad. To add a crunchiness, I had another well known nut, yeah the brain nut, which is the brain food- Walnuts! And finally, who would say "No" to a generous drizzle of some sweetness around, Honey the King of sweeteners and I cannot forget this citrus queen, Orange in this mission :)

Now its time to go to the recipe, and stop my boring literature. Here it goes.

Ingredients:

Apple - 1
Fresh Fig - 4
Walnut - 7 to 8
Honey - 2 tsp
Orange juice - of a half

Method:

I don't the method is required here. Just slice everything and mix them. Drizzle the orange juice at the time of serving. Yummy fruity salad is ready!

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out. The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som...

Bionico - Mexican Fruit Dessert

I was looking for a dessert which is simple and healthy for today and what came to my mind was Parfait. But the day was Mexican themed and I didn't want to deviate for the dessert part and spoil my theme plan ;) I was looking for similar desserts of Mexican origin, coz I wanted an easy healthy option and has base ingredients which I already have at home. My search for the recipe ended in this great dessert from Mexico, The Fruit Bionico, which resembles parfait in many ingredients, just some difference in some of them. And I found an interesting factor in it and that strengthened my decision to go on with this. Yes, that is nothing but, our own freshly grated coconut :P Bionico is on sweeter side when compared to Parfait because of its sweetner condensed milk. I had my jars saved from Frozen bottle ice cream cakes, and that helped me to give my Bionico that ramp ready look. After the layers were set up, I was going crazy with the photos, as the beauty was looking so pr...
