I posted a few days ago about making a “salad” for dinner in Tala. I found some new ingredients in the market and I’ve improved on my past attempt. I don’t know what I was thinking before, but I’ve got it down now. I decided that hot peppers and cilantro are not necessary, but I’ve added zucchini, bell pepper, and avocado! Tonight I used the following:
- Two small cucumbers, cubed
- One small zucchini, cubed
- Half a small onion, diced
- One medium-sized tomato, cubed
- One medium-sized avocado, cubed
- Two small carrots, diced
- One small green bell pepper, sliced
I just throw it all in a bowl and add a pinch of salt, mix, and let it sit for a few minutes… and voila! I only wish I hadn’t lent my ground black pepper to a buddy because I think that would be the ultimate addition. It’s delicious AND nutritious!
Sara has a book which has a funny caption on the front, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” It’s Michael Pollan’s In Defense of Food. I never read it, but I think the the caption is catchy and probably true (duh?). Anyways, I’ve been enjoying eating a lot of vegetables lately. No cooking, no cleaning of dishes. I think it’s a no brainer…

Try it with a splash of lemon juice next time. This salad seems like an improved greek salad (well, except for the carrots, avocado bits).
I don’t know what to call it, but I feel like a million bucks. I’d probably feel better if I wasn’t up all night in dependency hell trying to get mp4 tagging to work on my Linux box. haha.
My gosh you are healthy!
