5 delicious recipes for your dinners to be light
1. Ham and pineapple rolls
This recipe is quite simple, but you must be very careful for a good result. To complement it well, you can bake an egg and choose a couple of tender leaves of lettuce. Everything should be well chopped: the pineapple and the egg cooked in squares, the lettuce in pieces proportional to each sandwich and the ham in vertical orientation to wrap all the ingredients in rolls.
When rolling them all, pin them with a toothpick as if they were small skewers. Finally, store them in the fridge to serve them cold.
2. Arugula, shrimp and avocado salad
If you are a lover of seafood, we tell you that dinner is the perfect meal to include them. A good way to do it is through a good salad that you will prepare with a good portion of arugula, accompanied with fresh shrimp peeled and cooked on the grill and a chopped avocado.
Prepare a delicious dressing with olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, pepper (preferably ground by you) and salt to taste. Enjoy your meal!
3. Tabule of cucumber and tuna
Something light and different to finish the day well. You must put in a bowl the following ingredients: couscous, raisins, onion and peppers. All minced in the smallest sizes you can. Add the juice of a lemon and of that same amount, you must add water. After this step, you should cover the bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
Chop enough parsley and tomato, also as small as you can and mix again. Now, to serve, add a good portion of tuna on the plate and surround it with the salad that you have been resting in the refrigerator. It's that simple
4. Salmon sandwich with avocado and cream cheese
Get out of the routine with this fast and tasty dinner. Using pita bread, make a salmon sandwich (which you can easily substitute for chicken, if you're not a fish-eating lover) by adding tomato, lettuce, avocado and cream cheese with a little chopped chives into very thin pieces. It is extremely simple to prepare.
5. Eggplant soup
You should start by washing and cutting a scallion and onion in julienne. Heat oil in a casserole until it takes color, then add eggplant cut into squares. At this point you have to go around while you add a spoonful of sweet paprika and a sprig of thyme.
Now, it would be ideal to use vegetable broth to add to the casserole, but you can also add mineral water and let it cook for a while until the eggplant is really tender. Add salt to your liking, always testing the result.
When your soup is ready, add parmesan cheese, but just a little. ThemesDinner
