My Recipes: Pasta Salad with Greens, Blueberries and Anchovies.

The following recipe is one of my favorites. Tasty and full of nutrients, plus it's very easy and quick to make.

INGREDIENTS
Wholegrain pasta (I recommend the spiral shaped one). Just a hand full.
Your choice of greens (I normally combine Spinach, Lettuce and Kale). Use enough to cover up the base and majority of the plate.
Blueberries (I also add Pomegranate and/or clementines sometimes )
Anchovies
A couple seeds (I usually use Chia and Sunflower seeds)

And for the dressing:
Fresh or dry Basil
Lemon or Lime juice
Extra virgin Olive oil.

And all you have to do is boil the pasta until "aldente". (I never add salt to the water but a couple bay leaves)
Wash up the greens and the berries and sprinkle the seeds and herbs on top.

You can add the anchovies for a good source of calcium and protein and add some contrast to the mild flavor of the salad. Or go completely vegan and add some walnuts perhaps.

Drizzle the olive oil and the lemon juice and Voila! You have got yourself a lovely nutritious meal in less than 10 minutes!

Enjoy!
