More often than not, I cook dinner with only the ingredients on board, i.e. no trip to the shop to get lettuce or tomato. If I want to make a salad, it will often consist of tinned beans or quinoa and any vegetable I may have on board. Our fridge is not very big, so I cannot usually store vegetables that take up much space, such as lettuce or veggies that damage easily. I do, however, sprout my own beans and seeds.
On this particular day in Broken Bay, we were tucked away in Jerusalem Bay, enjoying the seclusion, when I had a craving for a fresh salad with my dinner.
A search through my fridge revealed a carrot, half a zucchini, finger limes and a container of freshly sprouted mung beans. We also had oranges and some mustard seeds sprouting ready to use.
So here is what I did.
I made a salad with grated carrot and zucchini. Added peeled and chopped orange, mung beans, mustard sprouts and the pulp from one finger lime.
I served my salad topped with barbequed bluefin tuna (caught in South Australia). I finished it with a drizzle of dressing made with orange juice, Dijon mustard and olive oil. Garnished with more finger lime. Yum!
Note: Finger Lime is a delicate rainforest tree that naturally occurs as an understorey tree in SE Queensland and Northern NSW.
