summer salad





















hmmm well summer is almost over, but I still wanted to share this salad before it goes.
It's sooo delicious and easy. 
  • 3 small avocados, cubed
  • 3 small oranges, sectioned
  • 2 cups radishes, diced (radishes and avocado are pretty much a match made in heaven)
  • 1 package of arugula (or romain, or whatever you have)
  • 6 green onions, finely chopped (1 cup)
  • 3 Tbs. lime juice
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
If you want to be real fancy sure you can put it back in the avocado shell, but lets be real, that is not a big enough serving size...just sayin

Chickpea Cilantro Lime Salad


So I've already made this salad, or variations on this recipe, no less than 3 times.
Soooo easy, and delicious.
Also it's great to take in lunches since the spinach and chickpeas can
hang out with the dressing with out getting all soggy.

CILANTRO LIME CHICKPEA SALAD

  • 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 4 loosely packed cups fresh spinach (I didn't chop my spinach quite as fine)
  • 1/2 onion, chopped small
  • 1 bunch of cilantro (about loosely packed cup)
Dressing
  • juice from 4 limes
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced or or pressed.
  • 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
I've also added cucumbers, to make it go a little farther.
Avocado would be good too!!
