Food is always a Good Choice
Food is always a good choice. And this counts for all of you: there is delicious vegan food in Fuerteventura! The Surf & Yoga Passion follows a healthy food lifestyle. Vegetarian & vegan food – as a healthy balanced lifestyle fills your body with energy and nutrients. For every food restriction, there is an alternative in our Retreat. For example, gluten-free, delicious baking is possible. For dessert, we created a vegan, gluten-free papaya cheesecake.
Have a look into one of our wonderful vegan & glutenfree three course dinner sessions. The recipes are collected by Julia, one of our foodies taking best care of your wellbeing in Fuerteventura with us. Find more about her food journey here.
White cabbage/ Fennel and Orange Salad
1. Wash and clean the fennel and white cabbage. Cut the fennel and white cabbage into thin slices. Peel the oranges, removing the white skin. Keep the zest (for decoration at the end). Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the fillets from between the membranes, collecting the orange juice in a bowl.
2. For the dressing, mix the collected orange juice (approx. 3 EL) with the apple vinegar (or white balsamic vinegar), agave syrup and mustard. Add the oil. Spice with salt and pepper. Add the dressing to the salad in the bowl and mix all the ingredients well. Gently add the orange segments. If you have time, leave the salad to soak for about 15-30 minutes.
3. Use the saved zest to decorate. Enjoy!
