katedemolder

January is a time of new beginnings. Fresh starts, new calendars and heaps of #newyearnewme Facebook statuses. And number one atop of those pesky resolutions is always to eat a little cleaner. Forgive us for not jumping at the chance to up our steamed broccoli intake – but sometimes, eating clean can be a little daunting.

But you see, my friends, that was then and this is now. With literally dozens of health food spots recently popping up all over Dublin, we are totally spoiled for choice and should seize the opportunity and give our bodies a belated Christmas present – they work pretty hard, you know.

Here’s the 8 nourishing dishes we’ll be treating ourselves to this January.

1. Nutritional Chopped Salad, Chopped

This beauty from everyone’s favourite salad joint, Chopped, combines mixed house salad, turkey escalope, apple, broccoli, roast carrot & pesto dressing.

It sets you up for the day and has heaps of bold colours and flavours to make it look as dreamy as it tastes. And with your dressing of choice to drizzle atop – it’s like a (healthy) party in your mouth, and everyone’s invited.
