A simple and inexpensive meal idea: Spanish omelet and green salad with walnuts and pear.

Ingredients

Omelet

  • 10 free-range organic eggs
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 large organic potato washed
  • 1 medium organic sweet potato washed
  • 1 large onion peeled, thinly sliced

Salad

  • 1 head organic lettuce washed and dried
  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts coarsely chopped
  • 1 organic pear washed, thinly sliced

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup organic raw apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • sea salt a pinch
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut both potatoes into quarters, lengthwise, then cut into thin slices.
  2. In a warm large pan over medium heat, add a generous amount of olive oil to coat, add the onion slices and cook for 2 minutes, then add the potato slices and cook until they start to get golden brown and roasted. Toss and mix once in a while so that they are golden on both sides, but not burnt!
  3. While this is cooking, prepare the salad dressing by simply combining all ingredients in a jar (vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, sea salt, and pepper if using) and shaking.
  4. In a bowl, cut the lettuce into bite-size pieces with your hands, or use baby lettuce mix, add chopped walnuts and pear slices on top. Put the dressing just before serving.
  5. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk all the eggs with 1/2 tsp sea salt and some freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  6. Once the potatoes and onions are nicely roasted and golden, pour the egg mixture on top and reduce the temperature to medium low. Cover with a lid and let cook for about 6-8 minutes or until cooked throughout and you can lift it with a spatula. (Covering it will help to make the omelet fluffy.)
  7. Serve immediately with the salad.
  8. Enjoy!
