This was my lunch yesterday and today. The recipe called for corn instead of garbanzo beans, but I opted for the beans to get more protein in. So yummy. A bit high in cals because of of the avacado and the garbanzos. What I really want you to drool over is all that roughly chopped cilantro. That and a tablespoon of this dressing made my day:
Juice of 1 lime
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp honey
Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
Dash of cayenne pepper
I would love other recipes with cilantro and lime! Samantha, the improved plating presentation is just for you!
I have to ask if that's your wedding china? Is it Wedgewood? I love it! And the salad looks yummy too. I made a totally improv lunch today of diced chicken, cukes, tomatoes, corn and white kidney beans with cumin over leftover brown rice. It was yum!
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the wedding china...and I'm worth it! =-)
ReplyDeleteLenox, Hartwell House. Your lunch sounds really tasty too. I've got to try white kidney beans.
The dressing looks really yummy as does the salad. Great photo and very lovely presentation.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE CILANTRO. THAT'S PROBABLY WHY I LOVE GOING TO CHIPOTLE SO MUCH. I HAVE A HARD TIME GROWING IT THOUGH. I CURRENTLY HAVE A HUGE JAR OF LIMES ON MY KITCHEN TABLE THAT I CAN JUST GRAB FOR SOMETHING YUMMY. I THINK I'M GOING TO MAKE THAT SALAD!
