A salad with wonderful spices

It is already known that cancer (a plague of the countries pompously called civilized) comes into being in the presence of so-called free radicals. They are oxygen atoms that “lost” somehow one of the electrons from the last orbit. Such an atom is looking for the lacking element in the nearest surrounding, which results in damaging healthy tissues and leads to premature ageing. We need some free radicals of course. Unfortunately, stress, alcohol, nicotine and pollution cause creating of too many free radicals, which disturbs the internal balance of the organism. So, we need to bring out the big guns against those little pests – we need antioxidants.
In the today’s salad antioxidants will be supplied by spices: black cumin, about which I wrote here , and turmeric that deserves a separate post.

I washed lettuce and dried put in a bowl. I sliced Florence fennel on a mandoline. Next I melted clarified butter in a frying pan, added peeled and chopped kohlrabi, washed and cut zucchini and finally chilli pepper. Stirring I added turmeric, black cumin and asafoetida. I cooked asparagus/green beans in a pot.
In the end, I added all the ingredients to the lettuce, salted a little and sprinkled blueberries over it.

Have an active Tuesday! 🙂
