Quick healthy spinach salad.

Got home late and needed a quick healthy salad.

In a large bowl add a bag of raw baby spinach, a pack of cooked beluga black lentils (or any other cooked lentils or drained beans. A finely chopped spring onion or two. 3/4 of a chopped avocado and two tablespoons of chopped dried apricots. You can also add some goji berries.

In a dry pan put a couple of handfuls of sunflower and pumpkin seeds and dry roast gently for 5 mins and turn pan off and cool.

Mix the ingredients in the bowl.

Dressing: In a blender add: 1/4 peeled avocado. Half a handful of dried apricots, salt or salt substitute, pepper, with a good splosh of cider or white wine vinegar. Blend until smooth. You can let it down with water and olive oil or a mix of the two. You will get a creamy dressing thanks to the avocado.

Chuck dressing on top, mix and serve.

Enjoy.
