Salad-Simple and Supreme

If you want me to go on a talking spree, just ask me about this salad.  It is a snap to make but it has the best ingredients and blends together like a dream and it just so good.

It came about, as usual, taking out of refrigerator, whatever I had.

an avocado
a few ounces of cranberry pecan goat cheese
greens
tomatoes


I had been craving the goat cheese and knew that it was going to be an ingredient in whatever I decided to eat.   The only thing missing was strawberries which is what I wanted to use, rather than tomatoes but there were none in the house.

Salad - Simple and Supreme

1 avocado, peeled and chopped
about 6 grape tomatoes, cut in halves
2 ounces of cranberry pecan goat cheese
2 cups of lettuce  (I prefer Romaine to iceberg but I used what I had.)

Dressing:  (I used about a tablespoon of the dressing below.)
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • black pepper to taste
Method:

I only made enough for my self.
Place lettuce in small bowl.
Add the avocado, tomatoes and goat cheese.
Gently mix so that goat cheese is spread throughout.
Top with small amount of dressing.

Enjoy!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Image
Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
