food rec Friday

Not a fic rec today, but a recipe! Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad, from Natasha’s Kitchen.

I stumbled across this one at work this week, and tried it last night. It totally met my requirements of:

1. easy prep
2. easy cleanup
3. tastes good

The best part is that it was pretty scaleable for one person without a lot of food waste. Also I skipped the cilantro/dill step, because I don’t like either of them. My version was:

*1 avocado
*1 tomato
*half a cucumber (could have used the whole thing, depending on the size of the cucumber, but I figured if I only used half it would be incentive to make the salad again later in the weekend)
*about a quarter of a red onion (definitely going to end up throwing out part of the onion, but at least it’s the cheapest ingredient)

*Cut up all that stuff and dump it in a bowl. Pour in 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 Tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle a bunch of Camp Mix on top (it’s salt and pepper and stuff all blended together; super convenient for those of us who don’t have a spice rack)

*Stir it around a little. Done.

Mine was way less fancy than the original (juice a lemon? no thanks) but it was super delicious. Would eat again!
