During the holidays, we especially don’t want to rack our brains to prepare dinner. But when we still want to stock up on good nutrients, dinner can sometimes be a headache. To make your life easier, here are some ideas for recipes ready in 10 minutes and good for the body, which Internet users have recommended given between 4 and 5 stars.
Recipe #1: Cold couscous with salmon
If you have some fresh salmon fillets left in the fridge, why not add them to a base of couscous, button mushrooms, pieces of dried apricots and spinach shoots? You can sear your salmon fillets in a pan for 7 to 10 minutes, then crumble them into the salad. A hearty meal enhanced with a touch of freshness from the spinach. Enough to stock up on vitamins and omega-3!
As for seasoning, a little olive oil and a dash of vinegar, and you’re done.
Recipe #2: Niçoise salad
A great classic of French cuisine, the Niçoise salad has everything to please. It is fresh, filling and easy to digest thanks to the cooked green beans that compose it. To these, add hard-boiled eggs, a few potatoes, cherry tomatoes, black olives and cooked tuna. This last ingredient can be replaced by feta if you follow a vegetarian diet.
A salad that is full of nutritional benefits: vitamins, fiber, minerals, proteins and antioxidants! The best part? Its Mediterranean character, which not only transports us instantly to the Côte d’Azur, but is also beneficial for heart health and brain function.
Recipe #3: Mexican Red Bean Salad
Inspired by Mexico, this salad recipe combines three staples: kidney beans, quinoa, and diced avocado. Add chopped tomatoes, onions, and cilantro (pico de gallo style for those who have traveled to Mexico).
But the originality of this dish lies in its seasoning: a light sauce based on a tablespoon of lime mixed with 60 g of hummus. A taste escape guaranteed!
