With hot flashes, you don't feel like eating too hot, steaming stews, or heavy meals. That is why traditional lentils, beans or chickpeas are usually left for more appropriate seasons ...
But legumes can also be eaten in summer, so as not to lose its beneficial properties, and prepare them in an attractive way for children and for the whole family.
Legumes are a basic pillar of a healthy diet, and most babies start taking them after 12 months. After two years, when they already eat the same as the elderly (as long as we talk about healthy meals and when there are no cases of allergies), the whole family takes the vegetable dishes.
In summer, instead of eating hot legumes, we can rehearse cold vegetable dishes. Here are some examples.
Chickpea salad. Having previously prepared the vegetables by cooking them, we let them cool. Then mix with pieces of raw vegetables to taquitos such as tomato, cucumber, carrot, pepper, corn ... and hard boiled egg. If we want to add some meat, better not to choose sausages or meats that are too fatty, difficult to digest, and opt for turkey, chicken or ham taquitos. It can also be mixed with tuna, if you like the combination, which seems great to me.
Bean Salad (Beans). It is prepared the same as before. It can be done with white beans, pints or red, in delicious combinations.
Even, lentils can go well in salad, as in this recipe that we brought you a while ago, a fresh and delicious dish that we can combine with various ingredients, adding vegetables to taste.
As they are cold, these salads can be seasoned with a little mayonnaise, although raw olive oil is healthier, and you can give it a touch of vinegar or lemon.
We also saw some tricks for children to eat legumes in a different way, such as hamburgers or croquettes, which make them very attractive in the eyes of children.
We hope these tips for children to eat legumes in summer And do not lose this healthy habit in our diet, they will be useful and help you prepare delicious and refreshing vegetable dishes.
