Food Fridays: Arugula and Lemon Salad

Hey Jeni! 

Since the weather has been heating up, I think it's time for a salad recipe! It's quick, simple and fresh! 

Ingredients: 

Baby arugula

Lemon juice

Salt

Pepper

Parmesan cheese (the real stuff, not grated)

It's pretty simple, I put the arugula in a bowl and sprinkle a little salt and pepper over it. Then I spritz lemon juice over the salad so the salt and pepper mix through. I then top it off with a little Parmesan cheese. 

Mix it all up and enjoy!

Hey Jeni! 

I've got a tasty little treat that you can eat anytime and in any quantity. 

The recipe that I have for you this week is one of my own and a go-to when I need a quick lunch or dinner option. 

Tomato and Avocado Salad 

Ingredients:

Avocado

Tomato 

Seasonings

Balsamic vinegar

Ok, a caveat to my little recipes, I change them all the time! Generally I make this recipe with the above ingredients- Trader Joe's 21 seasoning salute (salt free!) and balsamic vinegar. You can choose salt and pepper, or other seasonings. It's up to you. If you want to make more of a vinaigrette, you can also add some olive oil, but I choose not to. 

Anyways, choose the amount of tomato and avocado you want and chop them up. You want the avocado to be somewhat ripe so it has good flavor. Put them in a bowl. Then simply add you reasoning and vinegar or vinaigrette. See?! Easy peasy! 

I hope you like it. You could put the salad on a roll or keep it as is. You can use it as a side dish or have a side green salad with it. Anyways, this is one of my favorites during my busy weeks! 

Bon appetit!
