However, cookbook author and salad queen, <a href=\"https:\/\/chantallascaris.co.za\/\">Chantal Lascaris<\/a>, believes balance in food (and in life) has nothing to do with extreme dieting or adding kale to every meal you consume.<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cInstead of making big and impossible-to-stick-to changes (which feel overwhelming), starting with a few good intentions is more manageable and increases the chances of success when it comes to your balance and wellbeing,\u201d says Chantal. One example is to simply make sure you drink enough water in a day. Not only can upping your water intake drastically reduce your sugar intake, but it can also reduce your appetite and food intake during a meal. Some studies even show that drinking water regularly can be linked to improved diet quality overall.<\/p>\n<p>A home cook and author of several cookbooks (featuring hundreds of delicious recipes), Chantal believes balance in food (and in life) has nothing to do with extreme dieting or adding kale to every meal you consume. She advises: \u201cCompletely overhauling your diet with drastic changes is a recipe for disaster. Being mindful and making small, sustainable decisions can have a big impact on your relationship with food, making it more healthy and more sustainable in the long run.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chantal\u2019s own passion for food-fuelled healthy living has been funnelled into her cookbooks, which include two salad-focused recipe collections. Her most recent release,\u00a0<em>The Ultimate Salad Book<\/em>, uses fresh and nutrient-rich ingredients in a variety of recipes that help you to eat balanced, healthy meals, and feel good at any time of the year. \u201cStart with simple things,\u201d says Chantal. \u201cSimple steps, simple ingredients, simple goals, simple outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>To help you step into the new year with your most balanced foot forward, Chantal shares three recipes from\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/chantallascaris.co.za\/the-ultimate-salad-book\/\">The Ultimate Salad Book\u00a0<\/a><\/em>that will help show you how easy (and delicious) balanced eating can be.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11562 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/pretoria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/01\/VISUAL-1-2-scaled-e1643115133366.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1926\" height=\"1913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/pretoria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/01\/VISUAL-1-2-scaled-e1643115133366.jpg 1926w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/pretoria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/01\/VISUAL-1-2-scaled-e1643115133366-400x397.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/pretoria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/01\/VISUAL-1-2-scaled-e1643115133366-1024x1017.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/pretoria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/01\/VISUAL-1-2-scaled-e1643115133366-768x763.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/pretoria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/01\/VISUAL-1-2-scaled-e1643115133366-1536x1526.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/pretoria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/01\/VISUAL-1-2-scaled-e1643115133366-696x691.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/pretoria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/01\/VISUAL-1-2-scaled-e1643115133366-1068x1061.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/pretoria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/01\/VISUAL-1-2-scaled-e1643115133366-423x420.jpg 423w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/pretoria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/01\/VISUAL-1-2-scaled-e1643115133366-1920x1907.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1926px) 100vw, 1926px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>CAJUN SWORDFISH SALAD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ll need<\/strong>: 600g swordfish steak, filleted; 1 Tbsp olive oil; 1 large cucumber, sliced on the diagonal; stalks celery, chopped; 1 cup roughly chopped baby spinach; \u00bd cup roughly chopped fresh mint<\/p>\n<p>For the cajun rub &#8211; 2 tsp salt; 2 tsp garlic powder; 2 tsp paprika; 1 tsp ground black pepper; \u00bd tsp cayenne pepper; 1 tsp dried origanum; 1 tsp dried thyme<\/p>\n<p>For the dressing &#8211; \u00bc cup rice wine vinegar; \u00bd cup coconut milk; salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Mix the ingredients for the Cajun rub.<\/p>\n<p>Cut the swordfish into bite-size pieces and place it into a sealable bag with olive oil and Cajun rub.
