Salad Sunday #1
Healthier. Eating healthy. Healthy Living……. A huge list of these ‘healthy’ titles have taken over the internet. This healthy living is like a disease that people are catching. Even myself. Yes, Ayesha who basically runs away from most H words, except Hershey’s. But to be honest, these past few days I’ve been wondering if I should lead a healthier life style. That means REDUCING high calorie foods from my everyday life. Notice that I said reducing and not ERADICATING? Yep, I’m going to have high calorie stuff, but not too much. Just now and then. This is not about weight(okay, so maybe it’s about that one pound I’ve gained in the last week), it’s about health. It’s about…errr……feeling good. It’s about feeling happy. (Let’s be serious, I can’t be all those until I get chocolate). Anyway weight is important to me. I don’t want to look like a pear or a football in near future(Those who feel good looking like that please don’t feel offended.By all means eat what you like. It’s just me I’m talking about.Personal opinions, you see?) So this is a Betty Crocker recipe I’ve modified to suit my own taste. All I can say is that when it comes to salads, It’s one of the tastiest.
Prep Time:25 min
Servings:6
- 3 cups Farfalle (bow-tie) pasta(8 oz)
- 2 cups frozen sweet peas(12 oz bag)
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 egg boiled cut into cubes( Yolk discarded)
- 3/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup feta cheese grated (4 oz)
- 1 clove garlic finely chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Cook and drain pasta as directed on the package, adding frozen peas during the last 4 minutes of cooking time. Rinse with cool water and drain.
- In a salad bowl toss all ingredients together except olive oil. Drizzle olive oil after the salad is made.

I will be posting one salad recipe every Sunday. I’ll have these salads in place of lunch, so they have to taste good. So yeah, will need to think a bit for that. Hopefully,I ‘ll remember to post Salad Sunday #2 next week.
This sounds simple and yummy. And who can resist those cute little bow ties? 🙂
