Speaking of my hubby, I thought I would pass along his favourite salad (asides Caesar which he has been eating all the time lately like some kind of weird pregnancy craving).
It could be eaten as a side, it can be eaten as a meal, you can throw anything in it that is left in the fridge, my kind of salad.
Here is what I threw in;
3/4 cup quinoa, cooked in 1 1/2 c chicken broth
- 1 can (19 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
a couple of handfuls of cherry tomatoes, cut in 2
1 English cucumber chopped
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Dressing:
3 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
I literately threw all the salad components in a bowl, and mixed up the dressing ingredients in a Tupperware and poured that on top, Served it next to some steak one night, and home made pizza the next!
Enjoy!
