When your not well, you just need food now, comfort food.

Apologies - this was written some weeks ago and I forgot to post it! D'uh must've been ill!

I do not get ill. Well, I rarely get ill but I have gone down with a really nasty viral infection thanks to some generous ignoramus on my plane on Friday who was incapable of putting a hand over his mouth.

So, not feeling well. What do I do? I could get a take away. I could have something indulgent but no. I am eating for my health.

Another idea is my 5 minute soup. See my post on that.

The salad:

I always keep some salad stuff in the fridge.

Today. I used :

1 romaine lettuce. (I know you should wash it but I just cut it up - I trust waitrose to pack it hygienically and discarded 2 outer leaves)
2 peppers diced.
1 small onion (optional - but I like onion when I am ill)
Large handful of sunflower seeds (or any seeds)

dressing-
tsp of crushed garlic
2 tbl spoons of good balsamic vinegar
2 tsp water
crushed black pepper
salt or braggs aminos

Chuck salad in bowl, mix deessing and toss.

Easy, quick, crunchy and refreshing.
