How exciting! I love spring and its power to give life and beauty.\u00a0 My dad believes that spring air has magic in it.\u00a0When I was little he used to tell me to \u201cbreath in all the fresh air as it revitalizes your body and heals your soul\u201d. I remember taking big, deep breaths and imagining that bright life was going inside me. Even today, I still believe that spring has mystic powers.<\/p>\n<p>Taking the power of renewal this spring and translating it into food, I would like to start my New Year (Persian New Year starts with the first day of spring) with a whole lot of healthy habits. I promised myself two things this year:\u00a0drink lots of water and eat more salad. My friends and family know all too well that I have a little bit of a germ phobia when it comes to salads. I can never go somewhere and eat salad unless I have washed the ingredients myself.\u00a0And by \u201cwashing\u201d, I mean business!!!\u00a0 Even after serious scrubbing I still have hard time eating it!<\/p>\n<p>Taking my crazy notion of \u201craw vegetable = germs\u201d \u00a0into consideration, I have to look at a bowl of salad from a different angle. I have to let go of my fears and germ phobia and welcome whole lot of salads this year.<\/p>\n<p>I am so excited to share with you some of my very favourite salad recipes that have changed my life and opened doors for me to finally enjoy salads in a whole different way. One of them is cooked salad.<\/p>\n<p>For all \u201cnormal\u201d people who can eat raw salad without thinking a million times whether it was washed properly or not, you might think, \u201cWhy even bother?\u201d\u00a0But I promise you won\u2019t be disappointed.\u00a0These \u201cmildly cooked salad\u201d recipes will impress you so much that you will change your ways of eating salad by choice.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-132 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/royatoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/healthy-cauliflower-salad.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"865\" height=\"658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royatoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/healthy-cauliflower-salad.jpg 865w, https:\/\/royatoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/healthy-cauliflower-salad-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royatoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/healthy-cauliflower-salad-768x584.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 865px) 100vw, 865px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6>Today\u2019s salad is delicious Roasted Onions and Cauliflowers with flaxseed and Mixed Nuts.<\/h6>\n<h6>Ingredients:<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00bd onion (thinly sliced)<\/li>\n<li>1 cup cauliflower, thinly sliced<\/li>\n<li>Mix Salad (Whatever you prefer, lettuce, kale, cucumbers, carrots, red cabbage, broccoli)<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon Flaxseed<\/li>\n<li>Mixed nuts (optional)<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tablespoon vegetable oil<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon turmeric powder<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon cumin seeds<\/li>\n<li>1 clove of garlic (crushed)<\/li>\n<li>salt and pepper to taste<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tablespoon butter (omit if you wish)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6>Instructions:<\/h6>\n<ol>\n<li>Heat vegetable oil in a pan on medium high heat.
