Keeping yourself healthy and satiated is one of the most important needs of this time. It is very essential to eat well, regularize intakes and consume food that is healthy yet delicious.
Salads are a great source of nutrition and there are some delicious salad recipes available. Try these and you are sure to get the right amount of warmth to combat the chills:
Cranberry Salad
Take the figs, apricots, cranberries, raisins, prunes, and golden raisins and mix them in a bowl. Add sufficient water to cover them all. Place a lid on the bowl and soak these overnight for about 8 hours.
The next day, pour the contents of the bowl in a saucepan and stir with some pine nuts. Keep it on a simmer and cook it. Make sure you stir continuously until the fruit is soft but has its shape intact. This is normallyachieved after 30 minutes.
Remove from the heat; add the dry fruits and liquid in a bowl. Serve cool at room temperature with fresh fruit juice.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dried figs
- 8 ounces dried apricots
- 8 ounces pitted prunes
- ½ cup dried cranberries

Quinoa and Avocado Dry Fruit Salad
Take a medium bowl, add hot water to it and soak the raisins and apricots in it for 5 minutes. Drain this mix and keep it aside. Take a saucepan; add 2 cups of water, quinoa, and salt to taste.
