Top 5 Healthy Mouth Watering Foods By Experts

I have never been a health freak. I like to eat. No scratch that. I love to eat. But I don’t inhale my food. I like to savor it as much as possible.

So, least to say I also experiment in the kitchen quite a lot; mixing and matching different flavors.

I’ll admit sometimes my experiments fail, that too, badly. But I am never one to give up so I tried, again and again, to perfect some recipes (in some case healthy food recipes) as much as I could. Until they became embedded in my memory.

A couple of years ago, I actually went on a cleanse fest. I tried detox water, tried healthy food recipes, and drank loads of water. all of this actually helped me in maintaining my weight.

There was a noticeable difference within 2 weeks (No lying!).

I am not saying that what I am about to tell you will make you slim faster than you could blink. But why not spend quality time in the kitchen and get ready to prep some delicious mouth-watering plates.

Here are 5 healthy food recipes that are easy, economical, and packed with flavor.

So, let’s get started, shall we?

Salt
Freshly ground pepper
3-4 tbsp. olive oil
Lemon juice (as per taste)

For 1 cup of uncooked quinoa, you'll want 2 cups of water—this will yield 3 cups of cooked quinoa. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and pop the lid on
Mix all the ingredients for the dressing and set it aside
Slice avocado and baby radishes (thinly).
Mix arugula with quinoa and add the dressing.
On a platter lay the quinoa mixture and add avocadoes and orange segments on top.
Eat away and fill up on this light fluffy meal.
