greek salad

Do you know what today is? 

The FIRST day to have a recipe with avocado in it. 

Are you excited?  You should be.

 

My friend introduced me to this salad.  My kids even love it!  There's no specific amounts for any of the ingredients.  Just as much as you want to put in.

GREEK SALAD

Lettuce (I use half romaine, half green leaf...you can be more exotic)
Diced red onions

Diced green bell peppers

Crumbled feta cheese

AVOCADO!
Tortilla strips  (when I don't have them, I smash up tortilla chips)

Greek vinaigrette dressing

 

 

I slice my avocado in half.  Cut horizontal and vertical lines.

Then I squeeze it into the bowl.  Perfect chunks :)

 

 

Mix it all up and enjoy!
Remember how I don't take the best pictures...well here's another one for you to look at ;)



 

Lunch Salad

Have you noticed that I seem to ONLY make chicken dishes?  Cut this chicken, cook it in these seasonings, add it to this?  Geez, I promise I make plenty other kinds of dishes in my house.  So I'll show you!

This is my favorite salad to make for lunch time.  I think I make it when I'm feeling fat.  Eating lettuce makes me feel skinny.  Except I'm positive the dressing I smother on top isn't a fat burner :)

Yummy Lunch Salad

Chopped romaine lettuce

Cubed sharp cheddar cheese

Diced Gala apples

Brianna's Poppy seed dressing (picture with the peach on it!)

Mix it all up and enjoy.

*ALSO, my friend Caley made some special requests for fast, on the go breakfasts. (which are coming, Caley!)  So now I'm going to ask you - what kind of food would YOU like to see on the blog?
