I finally got a new camera charger in the mail today! Woohoo! I forgot how to use it. BUT it means I can now start taking pictures again, I was going a little crazy. I even have a recipe. As you may or may not know, the salads I like best include carbs and more carbs, and protein...they generally aren't greens based unless it's on the side of something.
Ingredients:
Serves 4-6
1 cup dry wheat berries, soaked overnight and then cooked (should make about 2 cups)
1 punnet cherry tomatoes, sliced in half long ways
Kernels from one cob of corn
1 cup cooked black beans
1 cup cooked pinto beans
1 spring onion, sliced thinly
As much spinach leaves as you like
Dressing -
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp jalapeno hot sauce (I use this stuff)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Mix all the salad ingredients together. In another bowl whisk the dressing until combined. pour on salad, and mix that. Easy peasy! I am pretty excited about eating it for lunches this week.
Serve with some avocado to make it even more yummy.
The jalapeno sauce has coriander and mango in it - it's so so so good. And reasonbly priced (not that I can remember how much). I'm not sure how you'd substitute it, maybe a fresh chopped jalapeno, fresh mango and dried coriander...or fresh corinander but that tastes like soap. Let me know if you try it!
Hi! We love all kinds of salad, including leafy ones but especially carb-y ones. But we don't eat them nearly enough. I should remedy that with this yummy looking salad.
