Fresh and Delicious Tabouli Salad

Fresh and Delicious Tabouli Salad

November 27, 2018

I whipped this salad up in literally 10 minutes and it made a whole bowl full that will last me the rest of the week (provided I don't eat it all at once!)

What you'll need:
  • 1/2 cauliflower, grated fine 
  • 3 cups flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 2 large tomatoes, diced fine 
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 
  • Pink salt
  • Black pepper
What you'll do:
  1. Add the tomatoes, cauliflower and lemon juice to a bowl and let it sit for a few minutes while you are chopping up the rest of the ingredients. 
  2. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine.
That's it - simple, fresh and delicious! 

This salad goes perfectly with freshly grilled steak or as an add in to dress up a plan old garden salad.

Rice Paper Rolls

Rice Paper Rolls

November 7, 2018
This is by far one of my more successful meal ideas and will be a weekly fixture in the Smith-Waters household from now on!

Satay Sauce
  • 1 tbsp ABC spread
  • 1/4 cup hot water 
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 inch knob ginger, grated
  • 1 spring onion, diced
  • 1 red chilli, sliced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos 
  • Juice of half a lemon or lime 

  1. Add the ABC spread to a bowl and add in hot water and whisk until combined. If the sauce is too thick, add more water. 
  2. Add in remaining ingredients and whisk.
Side note - this sauce is good on just about anything! You can add it to a salad as a dressing or coat chicken in it for a marinade.

Rice Paper Rolls 
  • 4 rice paper rolls 
  • 1 large bowl of warm water
  • 1 cucumber, sliced thin
  • 1 capsicum, sliced thin
  • 1 carrot, sliced thin
  • 1 avocado, sliced thin
  • Protein of your choice - I used chicken breast for this one 
  • 1 bunch of fresh coriander 
  1. Gently place the rice paper roll (one at a time) in the warm water and soak for a few seconds until they become pliable then lay them on a board.
  2. Spoon one tsp of satay sauce in the middle then layer on as many toppings as you like, finishing with the coriander. 
  3. Fold top and bottom first then fold the left edge over the ingredients and roll. 
  4. Dip in the satay sauce once finished.

Tip - make them as you go and eat them straight away - they don't keep too well if left for too long!
