Can you name a salad after yourself?
Of course you can 🙂
Today I want to share the recipe for Fiffibelle’s Eat Your Water salad and explain why I like to make and eat salads that are rich in water.
Fiffibelle’s Eat Your Water Salad
Ingredients
200 gram spinach
1 cucumber
1 orange
2 clementines
1 kiwi
100 gram raspberries
100 gram blueberries
20 gram prunes
Dressing
20 g honey
10 g extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp orange or clementine juice
How to Make My Eat Your Water Salad
Place the spinach in a large bowl.
Cut the cucumber, orange, clementines and kiwi into pieces and add them on top of the spinach together with the blueberries and raspberries.
Make a dressing from honey, olive oil and juice from the orange or clementine and drizzle it over the salad
Let the salad sit for a couple of hours before serving.
Tips
If you would like a sweeter salad, you can add a little Sukrin Gold or a similar product.
If you would like more spice, you can use olive oil with chili instead of regular olive oil.
Don’t have all the ingredients?
Be creative and replace them with other fruits and vegetables that are rich in water.
The salad keeps well in the refrigerator for 3–5 days.
Dr. Murad – Eat Your Water
In 2018 I discovered the philosophy of Howard Murad and his idea of “eat your water.”
I was fascinated by his thought that hydration is not only about how much water we drink, but also about the nutrients we receive when we eat fruits and vegetables that are rich in water. Along with the water, we also get vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that the body and the skin can benefit from.
For me, his way of explaining hydration was so inspiring that it made me think a little differently about the fruit and vegetables I choose to eat.
We can all read studies, listen to experts and search for good advice. But in the long run we also need to listen to ourselves.
What works for my body?
What gives me energy?
What makes me feel well?
For me, juicy water-rich salads filled with nutrients feel good for both my inner and outer well-being — and especially for my skin.
