MONDAY MORNING RECIPE POST - SORT OF!

 Once again I have no new recipe but we did put together a very tasty salad. I wanted to add it here so that we could remember to do this combination again.  


Leafy Green Lettuce

Sweet red pepper, diced

Avocado, cut into sections

Hot house cucumber, peeled and sliced 

A few slices of tomato, sliced and diced


No measurements, just enough for the two of us.


Next, we had leftover sautéed mushrooms which Gregg added to a pan of freshly grilled onions, along with leftover pork, a few slices and diced. These additions were only in there long enough to heat through. All was added, still hot from the pan, on top of the salad veggie mix. Much enjoyed! 


Gregg also made a dressing of avocado oil, rice wine vinegar, a few drops of sriracha, honey, low-sodium soy sauce and a little mayo. No measurements here and just to taste, though he did say the oil to vinegar ratio was 2 to 1 (2 ozs. Oil to 1 oz. Vinegar). I enjoyed it very much and drizzled about a tablespoon over my salad. Very tasty!


Thanks for visiting, have a great day, and…
