Christmas Wreath Summer Salad🎄🥗

Summer has officially arrived in NZ, and that means it’s salad season!

This go-to summer salad is fresh, delicious, and full of seasonal goodness. Perfect for festive entertaining when plated up Christmas vibes (like this wreath idea🎅), or meal-prepped to enjoy all week long.

Try it stuffed into wraps, as a sandwich filler, in a salad jar, or mixed with grains and your favourite protein.

For more seasonal recipe ideas, follow @5adaynz

🥗Here’s the recipe🥗
For the salad:
4 cups salad greens
250g cherry tomatoes
1 cucumber, sliced into rounds
1 capsicum, sliced into rounds or strips
A handful of fresh herbs (your pick)

For the dressing, whisk together:
¼ cup olive oil
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp runny honey
1 garlic clove, grated
Salt and pepper, to taste

🍊Wholesome Orange Poppyseed Cake🍯 Sweetened

🍊Wholesome Orange Poppyseed Cake🍯

Sweetened with honey and made with a whole orange (rind and all!) for a bold citrus flavour—just so good!

I created this recipe to celebrate @twistedcitrus fresh fruit gift boxes, a thoughtful gift for the health-conscious.

Each box is packed with premium fresh fruit from sunny Gisborne, NZ, plus extras like candles and flowers, making them perfect for a get well soon or thinking of you gift🥰

Here’s the recipe:

1 whole orange (250-270g total weight)
⅔ cup runny honey
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup almond meal
1 cup plain or gluten-free flour
1 ½ Tbsp poppy seeds
¾ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda

Place the orange in a pot of cold water, bring it to a boil, and boil rapidly for 10 minutes.

Repeat this process two more times, draining and refilling with fresh water each time. Drain and let the orange cool.
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a 20-cm cake tin with baking paper.

Blend the cooled orange segments in a food processor until pulpy. Add the honey and blend until smooth, then repeat with the eggs.

In a large bowl, mix almond meal, gluten-free flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and baking soda. Pour in the wet ingredients and fold gently until just combined.

Transfer the batter to the prepared tin and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Decorate as you like—I topped mine with mascarpone and honey, plus extra poppy seeds.

🤰✨I’ve been baking something a little diffe

🤰✨I’ve been baking something a little different these past few months.

If you’ve noticed a slowdown in recipes, let’s just say nausea and vomiting made themselves right at home😂.

In all seriousness, it’s almost a year to the day we found out we miscarried our first bub. What followed was a really tough Christmas and New Year.

This holiday season, I’m filled with immense gratitude for this pregnancy—and for the baby girl joining us late March/early April 2024 💕💗🌸

Weet-Bix bliss balls💙❤️These tasty snack bi

Weet-Bix bliss balls💙❤️These tasty snack bits are a delicious way to get more wholegrains into your day.

Wholegrain Week is founded by the Grains Legumes & Nutrition Council, and this year we’re celebrating the benefits of wholegrains in our diet! Wholegrains are an important part of balanced eating, providing fibre, vitamins, and minerals that support overall health.

Fun fact: One serve of @weetbixnz wheat biscuits contributes at least 60% towards the Grains & Legumes Nutrition Council’s 48g Wholegrain Daily Target Intake!

Ingredients (Serves 12):
6 Sanitarium Weet-Bix™
100g Medjool dates (approx. 5 dates or ½ cup)
75g raisins (½ cup)
150g sunflower seeds (1 cup)
40g desiccated coconut (½ cup)
25g cocoa (¼ cup)
1-2 Tbsp water may be necessary
Extra cocoa powder or desiccated coconut or freeze-dried raspberry powder for coating (optional)

Method:

Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until the mix becomes sticky and starts to clump together. This will take time, allow up to 5 minutes.

If your mixture is not able to be rolled into balls slowly add a small amount of water until the bliss ball mix comes together.

Roll balls in cocoa powder, freeze-dried raspberry powder, or desiccated coconut (optional). Enjoy!
