Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Sea salt, to taste
Preparation

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet. Sauté mushrooms for 3 minutes, add chives and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Add eggs and black pepper.

For the dressing:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 lemon, juiced
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Sea salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper


For the salad:
4 (6 to 7-ounce) boneless skinless cooked chicken breasts cut into chunks—can also use chopped Rotisserie Chicken without the skin

Preparation

To make the dressing: Combine all the ingredients in a resealable container and shake vigorously. Place chicken, celery onion and sunflower seeds in large salad bowl. Toss with dressing. Assemble lettuce on plate; top with chicken salad.
Mixed Berry Yogurt Parfait

Ingredients

3 cups plain yogurt—I like Greek Style Yogurt best
3 cups of berries of your choice—frozen berries can also work. A good combination is:
1 cup blueberries
1 cup strawberries
1 cup raspberries
4 tablespoons sliced almonds
Preparation

Layer 1/2 cup yogurt mixture, 1/4 cup strawberries, 1/4 cup blueberries and 1/4 cup raspberries in each of 4 parfait glasses or serving bowls alternating berries and yogurt. Sprinkle each parfait with 1 tablespoon almonds. Serve immediately.
Dinner:

Baked Fillet of Salmon with Asparagus and Caper-Enriched Lemon Sauce

Ingredients

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced shallots (may substitute red onion)
1 tablespoon drained capers, chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest – use organic only or omit from recipe
24 oz wild salmon fillets (1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches thick; skinless if available)
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Lemon slices
Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°·F. Briskly stir first 6 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Add sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Slice three 1/2-inch-deep slits crosswise in top of salmon (as if dividing into 4 equal pieces but do not cut through).
Arrange asparagus in even layer on rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and turn to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place salmon atop asparagus; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until salmon is just opaque in center, about 20 minutes.
Transfer asparagus and salmon to platter. Spoon sauce over salmon. Cut into 4 pieces along slits, garnish with lemon slices and serve.
Romaine Salad with Chick Peas

Ingredients

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

7 ounces mixed salad greens (8 cups, loosely packed), such as escarole, oak-leaf, and romaine, rinsed, patted dry, and torn into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup of rinsed and drained chickpeas
Preparation

Place the lemon juicer, salt, pepper, mustard, and garlic in a medium-size bowl and whisk together until blended. Slowly add the olive oil, whisking constantly, until the dressing is emulsified.

Add the greens and chickpeas, toss well until they are coated with the dressing. Season with pepper to taste and serve immediately.

    It's not really a Gwenyth post so much as sharing recipes. I don't know much about the actress other than what I read in her blog (and all her personal stuff I skip). I like reading about the health products and recipes. They are tried and tested and pretty good! :)
