My sweet zumba salad

After a good zumba workout, it´s so great to come home to a lovely dinner and this sweet and tasty salad. The watermelon does just wonders. Adding a little basil really brings out the taste. I could have this salad with every meal.



2 cups watermelon, cubed
2 cups your favorite green salad (like iceberg or a mix)
1/2 cup basil leafs
1 (10-ounce) package Feta cheese, cubed
½ red onion, sliced
1 cup strawberries (cut in half)

 Add watermelon, strawberries, salad, basil, cheese, and red onion to a large bowl and toss to combine.

Garlic zucchini

I don´t know what it is, often I buy zucchini to make something delicious, but then I just forget  all about the zucchini and at the end I have to throw it away.  So strange.  I have used zucchini a few times with sweet potatoes and with fried vegetables, but I have never tried to make something where the zucchini is the main ingredient.  So yesterday I bought a Zucchini and decided to make something without forgetting about the zucchini ;).  The outcome was great.  Oven roasted garlic zucchini is great as a side dish with any meal, or you can could have it as a main course with a good salad. 
This recipe here is for four people as a side dish or for two as a main course.



2 zucchini
3-4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 - 2 Tbsp coconut oil or virgin olive oil
salt and pepper 
rosemary

Preheat oven to 375° F (180° C).
Cut zucchini into large coins and then quarter. 
Place garlic and zucchini in a bowl, add oil. If you are using coconut oil it should be in a form of liquid.  It great to place the bowl in warm water to keep the oil in a liquid form while blending everything together.  Sprinkle in some salt and pepper and a bit of crushed rosemary.  Blend everything well together.  Place the zucchini blend to a cookie sheet and try to spread it a bit.   Bake for 20 - 25 minuets or until the zucchini is soft and starts to get a golden color.
