Pineapple, Celery & Ginger Smoothie:

INGREDIENTS:

1. Prepare the pineapple by cutting off each end. Then, slice off the skin in a downward direction. This minimizes waste. Remove “eyes” from the flesh of the pineapple, and then cut half of the flesh into manageable chunks.
2. Chop the celery stalks into small pieces.
3. Peel the ginger and chop finely.
4. Place all the ingredients into a blender, along with a tiny amount of water, and blend into a smooth fragrant drink.

METHOD:

1. Prepare the salad by shredding the cabbage, grating the carrot, finely chopping the pepper, and adding to the whole baby spinach leaves and parsley.
2. Prepare the dressing in a small bowl. Finely chop the garlic, add a pinch of salt and all the other wet ingredients. Mix well, and pour over the salad. Toss the salad well, and serve.
