Lunch Today- Super Easy and Super Healthy Asian Salmon Salad

This is a really quick easy salad to make, and of course very healthy!


What you need:

• Salad stuff- I used cos lettuce, red capsicum, cucumber, celery, coriander, fennel bulb and green apple (definitely use this if you can as the sweet and salty work so well!)
• Tinned salmon or tuna in olive oil (don't drain the oil!)
• Chopped salted or unsalted peanuts
• Hemp seeds (I quickly roast them in a pan for some more crunch)
• Splash of olive oil or flax seed oil
• Splash of cocnut aminos or tamari
• Juice of half a lime
• A capful of apple cider vinegar
• A dash of cayenne pepper (it can be quite hot so watch out!)
• Handful of fresh herbs, mint and coriander work the best.

Put all the salad ingredients in a bowl, with the salmon and the oil (don't drain). Add the dressing ingredients and a dash of cayenne pepper, mix. Sprinkle over the peanuts and hemp seeds and enjoy!

If you want to make it a bit more filling you could also add cooked vermicelli or kelp noodles.

I'm loving cayenne pepper at the moment, especially as I found out how good it is for you. 

Some of the benefits include;

• Circulation; it is warming; dilating; specific for varicose veins; equalizes the blood pressure in the arterial and venous system; equalizes blood pressure instantly actually.
• Cayenne is useful in alleviating allergies, muscle cramp, improving digestion, gives more pep and energy, and helps wound healing with minimal scar tissue.
• Cayenne is a counter-irritant; it brings blood to the surface and allows the toxins to be taken away.
• Anti-Cold and Flu Agent- Cayenne pepper aids in breaking up and moving congested mucus. Once mucus begins to leave the body, relief from flu symptoms generally follows.
• Cayenne is a well-known digestive aid. It stimulates the digestive tract, increasing the flow of enzyme production and gastric juices.
• Cayenne’s anti-inflammatory properties makes it a great herb for arthritis, diabetes, psoriasis and herpes-related nerve damage
