Flavorful Salad Idea

November 15, 2010

Tweet Look what I found at Trader Joe’s today! I decided to bring it home and make it into a salad for lunch.  Per serving, these babies pack 12 grams of fiber, 11 grams of protein and 20% of your daily iron. I grabbed a handful of almonds and gave them a rough chop. I [...]

Spicy Cucumber Salad

August 17, 2010

Last week I still had three seedless cucumbers in my crisper from the previous week’s Bountiful Basket.  I didn’t want them to go to waste, so I started asking for ideas.  My friend Angela suggested making a Thai cucumber salad.  I went online to search for a recipe and came across several.  So I took [...]
