Since I have been spending more time at home, It’s a pleasure to have abundant of delicious recipes to explore, create and of course to eat. So, here’s another creation recipe to share with you. Cosy up and beat winter chill with chocolate, fruits, shredded coconut, mushroom, and seasonal veggies.

Yes, chocolate I am not feeling guilty at all. Lightly toast shredded coconut to give it some crunch goes hand in hand with salad. Take my healthy lunch to next level of creation. It’s so easy to create the chocolate and turn it into a cup and filled with blueberries and shredded coconut with a little cute strawberry flower on top.

No hassle preparing. For chocolate; you can make them in advance store in freezer the night before. The next day, just create your chocolate mould with anything you like. Let’s assemble them so I can eat. This is colourful, healthy and delicious salad anyone can make. Be creative!!!!

The following day

Place baby rocket, cherries, blueberries, mushrooms, basil leaves in a bowl; toss with oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Then plate up on to plate. Make a small hole in the middle of the salad. Then remove chocolate from freezer and the mould.

Put the chocolate mould in the middle of salad. Next place the mushrooms and some blueberries to support the mould. Place remaining blueberries and shredded coconut inside. Top with strawberry flower. Sprinkle remaining shredded coconut over the salad. Enjoy!!!!
