Happy Friday! Aren’t you just glad that it’s Friday? 🙂
In my goal of preparing healthy home-cooked meals for my family, I’ve been doing a lot of meal planning lately. I installed an app on my iPhone where meal-planning is much easier done. I can browse for healthy recipes either for breakfast, lunch or dinner, snacks, side dishes or drinks, then save them on my list and it automatically fills in my shopping list which is great because then I would know what ingredients I would need – I can delete the ones that we already have and know the ones that I need to buy at the store. Such a convenient app!
I found this avocado and tomato salad which is really perfect for either lunch, snack or side dish. I prepared this and had it for snack one afternoon last week. Both the hubs and I loved it! I’ve always loved avocado as well as tomatoes, but I’ve never tried mixing them together.
If only our son would not be super picky and eat this too then I would be one super happy mommy! 🙂 But I was also a picky eater when I was little so I believe he will also love vegetables later on as much as I do now.
I did tweak the recipe that I found just a little because I prefer using lemon rather than lime. Also, I decided to cut the serving because it’s only me and the hubs who are going to eat it. I figured we only needed one avocado and I was right, it was more than enough for us.
Here’s the recipe for you to try:

This salad looks amazing. I think I’m going to make it for lunch tomorrow after church. I have everything but the purple onion. I think tomatoes, avocados, and some Italian dressing will be awesome.

Best combination ever. I would use fresh finely chopped cilantro because the aroma would make the salad even better. I agree with you having a picky eater. My kids were the same way when they were young. Now that they are grown, they absolutely love their veggies!
