Here is a great and comforting salad idea that appeals to those meat-free days. It is filling and a wonderful option for lunch. You can play around with variations of flavor (that's how a lot of my recipes are), but this one I really enjoyed.
Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
Zest and juice of 1 lime
A handful of chopped Cilantro
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
Herb Potatoes
2 potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch slices (I prefer red potatoes)
1/2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried Cilantro
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
Salad
A handful of your favorite lettuce
1 tablespoon bell pepper, chopped
1/2 Avocado, cut into chunks
A handful of grape tomatoes
A handful of chopped Cilantro
1 tablespoon green onion, diced (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Whisk all vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Throw your potato slices in a medium-sized bowl, along with the oil and seasonings. Mix with your hands until each slice is well covered. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Assemble your salad and drizzle your vinaigrette over top. Now commence to eating!
You will have excess vinaigrette and potatoes. Use those leftovers in other dishes.
