Oh my, do I love cold salads during the summer. And especially the ones that taste more than your basic salad with lettuce & veggies, which leave you hungry again not long after. I came up with this recipe by accident when playing around with different ingredients, just flowing through a cooking session without a set agenda. It's similar to an asian salad but done in a healthy, plant-based version.

Last summer, Robin and I took an unexpected trip to the south of France. I've been long wanting to go there so my excitement level was beyond measurable when we found a long weekend that would work for the trip in the last moment. In my mind, the south always seemed like a fairytale with endless lavender fields, winding countryside roads, and picturesque homes. It turned out to be just that and so much more though.

Spending two weeks in Guadeloupe together with a group of friends and Robin had been paradise so far until an incident occurred on our last day. It was quite the dramatic one to say the least. You always hear about these kinds of crazy things happening around the world but somehow you never really think it's going to happen to you. And even when it does, it doesn't seem real but I wanted to share because maybe it can help someone else save this from happening to them. Trust me when I say that nobody else needs to experience free falling from waterfalls! ;)

Without a whole lot of time to prepare breakfast, having a stash of granola has become my ultimate saviour. Long ago, I used to buy it already prepared but then after looking into the ingredients, I realized how unhealthy something I had always considered good for me was. The same went for cereals. While they might look like a healthy choice on the outside, especially when they're advertised as 'gluten-free', 'organic', & 'sugar-free', they are filled with tons of hidden sugars and other additives. This began my grand experimentation of creating a healthy version that's still bursting with flavour and finally, I've fined it down. It's become my new obsession to say the least and I just love how much easier it makes mornings. Less things to think about in those early AM's .. yes please!
