It has been quite some time since I did a blog post. Yahoo in it's wisdom thought it was a good idea to lock me out of my account while I was in Texas for two weeks for the holidays.
Once I got back I had lots to do to prepare for all the company that descended on my house for the weekend of my dad's memorial service.
But hopefully I am back in the swing of doing the blog now. I don't think anyone reads it since there was no complaining when my screen went dark the last month.
I modified a recipe on-line for this salad I will be having for lunch this week. Feel free to change it up to suit your tastes.
1 can white beans ( rinsed and drained)
2 avocado, chopped
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 cup shredded carrots
1 pint grape tomatoes cut in quarters
Dressing
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon prepared Dijon mustard
Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. Add the dressing and mix well. Chill. Serve over lettuce or shredded cabbage.
Serves 4
Superfood Featured: Beans, avocado
