Cucumber, beetroot, 'visstick' salad

It has been ages since I last had 'vissticks' (fish fingers). It's the type of food you love as a kid - or at least I did - and then completely forget about.

However, I felt it was about time to give the good old vissticks another chance at winning back my heart and boy, they have :) I didn't buy the 'Iglo' brand (from the famous 'Captain Iglo' commercials) because at my local Lidl they sell fish fingers for far less money and since I am dedicated to saving as much money as possible (and investing 1/6th of that in crypto), I tend to buy the B or even C brands rather than the A's.

Today I enjoyed a lovely dinner, really simple and with beet root (when you read my post from yesterday you'll know why) so healthy as w/hell.

The ingredients: 5 fish fingers, 1,5 - 2 beet roots (pre-cooked and sliced into diced), half a cucumber (also sliced into dices), a handful of almonds, some sunflower seeds (say 1 table spoon), half an onion (left from yesterday), salt, pepper, olive oil for baking the fish fingers, lemon juice, and - there they are again - linseeds. (Yes, I firmly believe in the awesome power of linseed).

Bake the fish fingers in some olive oil and be sure to turn them regularly. Meanwhile, slice the cucumber and beet root and put in a bowl. Add salt and pepper. Then slice the onion and add these to the fish fingers, together with the almonds. Finally, mic everything up in the bowl, add some lemonjuice, linseed, and sunflower seeds, et voilà: another easy peasy dinner.

Maybe not as healthy as a fresh, raw herring, but still a good low-carb / Paleo recipe that adds some veggies to your diet in a delicious and easy way :)
