In dietetics, there is a concept called the Total Nutritional Index (ANDI), which is used to assess the amount of nutrients you need in a product per calorie (the higher the indicator, the better the food in every sense). The maximum value is 1000, and, as you understand, only a few achieve this level. Among the chosen ones, there are plenty of greens - watercress, collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens and curly cabbage (kale), all have ANDI 1000. Mix all this in one salad and add other worthy ingredients, and you get real rocket fuel, which you can refuel with whenever necessary. Is something missing? Take what you have - the resulting mix will still be tasty and wildly nutritious.
What you need:
(for 4 servings)
- 1 cucumber
- 1 turnip (fodder turnip)
- 1 red chili pepper
- 2 fennel bulbs
- 30 g mint leaves
- 50 g radishes
- 12 asparagus stalks
- 100 g watercress
- 50 g kale
- 200 g curly kale
- 50 g mustard greens
- 100 g fodder turnip leaves
- 1 pack of halloumi cheese
- Sunflower oil
- Sea salt
For filling:
- A little extra virgin olive oil, lemon and pomegranate juice, salt
What to do:
1. Turn on the oven and let it heat up to 200°C. Cut the cucumber and turnip into thin slices, then cut the chilli and remove the seeds.
2. Finely chop the fennel. Do the same with the mint and radish. And with the chili pepper.
3. Now take the asparagus, cut off the wooden ends completely and place the stalks on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
4. Cut the halloumi into not very large pieces, place next to the asparagus. Sprinkle everything with sunflower oil, sprinkle with a little salt. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
5. Mix the dressing ingredients. In a large bowl, combine all the greens and vegetables (except those in the oven), pour the dressing over them, and toss. Top with the baked halloumi and asparagus. You're ready to take off!
