This is a super easy and delicious salad to impress you loved ones with! A little different from the usual salads, this one brings the tanginess from the tamarind, the softness from the chickpeas and a little sweetness from the onions to create a beautiful side dish that not just easy to prepare but also really healthy!
Ingredients:
1 can cooked chickpeas
1 small onion, sliced and than soaked in salty water
1 small cucumber, diced
1 small tomato, diced
1 potato, boiled, peeled, and diced
1/2 cup of tamarind sauce
salt, pepper
Instructions:
Place the already cooked chickpeas into a pot with the tamarind sauce. Cook together until tamarind sauce is evaporated.
Slice the onion into thin slices, and dice the cucumber, tomato and already boiled and peeled potato.
Once the chickpeas absorbed the tamarind sauce, mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve as a side dish for around 3 - 4 people.
Serve this yummy salad with anything you like. I absolutely adore this on the BBQ table. It also pairs well with rice dishes.
I have just recently got the workout package of Les Mills Body Combat, and I must say after just 2 days I am soooo feeling the difference. I never thought a workout with (almost!) no equipment (all you need is a set of handle weights and maybe a yoga mat) could get you into shape so well.
Les Mills Combat, Stay with the fight, Fitness Guide
So, it was just after day ONE that my muscles in my arms, my core and my legs were sore! I mean seriously sore, i had problems doing simple household chores - now you know what I mean! And this was just the Combat 30 DVD that I am talking about, 30 minutes of kicking and boxing. Really loving the martial arts inspired workouts which make you sweat and leave you breathing heavily. You just know too well that this workout is really worth it.
Les Mills provides three 60 day exercise plans, I am just doing the simplest one - ULTIMATE WARRIOR. It gives one TWO rest days and the rest of the days you have to engage in a at least 30 minute long workout. Their longest workouts take 60 minutes. (Cannot wait to get there!)
This is not my first time working out, so I am not sure I would suggest these workouts to complete beginners. My sleeping muscles seem to have woken up after just TWO days of Les Mills - that is what I call results :-D.
So if you are in love with martial arts, you surely will love this workout! I believe it is pretty worth the purchase.
