-HUGE salad of red leaf lettuce, chopped nuts, and diced apples with a simple balsamic vinaigrette dressing (2 parts oil, 1 part vinegar, some salt and pepper).
-Slices of apple
-Slices of bread from the store's bakery (as to ensure that the list of ingredients contained no more than 5 items), toasted
-Avocado-Chive spread, to try and ignite a passion for avocado
Quite a good looking meal if I do say so myself. Coming from a little get-together the night before, feeling a little pooped, and looking to get out the door early for another friend's party, I wanted something quick, easy, and with enough volume to at least partially pad my stomach for the evening. (I was on my way to a party thrown by a group of five girls who, as far as I can tell, have been friends forever. I was lucky enough to be introduced to them through Leah. Individually, they are all superb, but as a TEAM, there is no rival. This particular evening, the party was for one of the girls who, though Jewish, never had a Bat Mitzvah in her teens. So, they broke out the glowsticks and made a cake in the shape of the Torah and threw her a Bat Mitzvah... almost a decade late, but better late than never!)
Try as I might, I've never been a fan of avocados. Their consistency is too close to that of mashed potatoes, the bane of my food experiences. However, I have to say, this recipe at least has made me more curious about avocados, though I remain skeptical. Any forward motion is progress.
Delicious, colorful, and a good meal when I'm need to be out the door in a half-hour. WILL REPEAT.
