Walnut salad / Orehova solata

I just returned from running and I must admit that I am really happy that I’m slowly getting back in shape. The last time I ran was in Fall and in between I was almost totally inactive in terms of exercise. Spring is like a start of something new and it makes me even more motivated. At the same time, I decided that I will start to eat more clean, to become more aware of the food I put in my body. I started to eat a lot of salads but not just plain salads. I like salads that contain a lot of ingredients and make me feel full, because honestly, chewing just plain old lettuce can become boring. This salad is perhaps more Fall-ish. I love it because it has so much going, a lot of different flavors are blended and I don’t feel hungry after I finish it. Before I go, I have to tell you about the Giveaway! =) Melissa, a girl who writes a blog Fawn over baby is celebrating her first blog anniversary and so she organized today's Giveaway, along with us other bloggers who promote on her blog. All 4 prizes are really beautiful and the Giveaway will run until Thursday. With love, Neja

Ravno sem se vrnila s teka in moram priznati, da sem prav vesela, da se počasi spravljam nazaj v formo. Nazadnje sem tekla jeseni in vmes sem bila praktično totalno neaktivna, kar se tiče telovadbe. Pomlad je kot nekakšen začetek nečesa in zaradi tega sem še toliko bolj motivirana. Hkrati sem se odločila, da prečistim način prehranjevanja in bolj pazim na to, kaj dam vase. Začela sem jesti ogromno solat ampak to ne takih, praznih. Všeč so mi solate, ki vsebujejo veliko sestavin in me nasitijo, ker iskreno, žvečenje zelene solate lahko postane dolgočasno. Tale solata je morda bolj jesenska. Jaz jo obožujem, ker se toliko dogaja v njej, veliko različnih okusov se meša in da mi tisto sitost, ki jo potrebujem. Preden grem, vam povem še za Giveaway! =) Melissa, punca, ki piše blog Fawn over baby, praznuje prvo obletnico Bloga in zato je organizirala današnji Giveaway, zraven pa povabila še ostale blogerke, ki se promoviramo na njenem blogu.  Nagrade so res čudovite in Giveaway bo potekal do četrtka. Z ljubeznijo, Neja

The recipe

Ingredients For the salad 1 cup pomegranate seeds 2 cups chopped mixed lettuce ¼ cup toasted walnuts ¼ cup feta cheese For the dressing ½ cup minced onion or shallot 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons water 2 tablespoons honey ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar ½ teaspoon salt 1 squeeze lemon or orange juice The process 1.Prep the salad ingredients (chop, rinse, toast, etc). 2.Mince the shallot or onion and saute in ½ tablespoons olive oil to reduce the bite. When soft and fragrant, remove from heat and transfer to a food processor. (If you want a stronger flavor for your dressing, skip the sauteing altogether. The shallot in particular works well for this.) 3.Pulse the onions or shallot with the remaining olive oil, water, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and orange juice until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust. Add additional olive oil or water to keep the mixture moving through the food processor. 4.Toss the salad ingredients together with the dressing just before serving.
