Some Salads...




I bought this avocado last week thinking I would just throw this quick salad together. But when I sliced it open, I was taken aback at how perfect and beautiful it was. Being the blogger that I am, I was already picturing the post as I was slicing up the salad. So, for a change of pace, here are some salad recipes for you:



Chunky Avocado Salad
2-3 large avocados, just ripe
1 can hearts of palm
1 purple onion diced
1 plum tomato diced, or 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

 Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently. The bad news: Since avocados are notorious for turning brown when cut, its best to make this salad as close to serving as possible. The good news:since this salad takes about 6 minutes to make, that shouldn't be too much of a problem!



And here's one more salad for you. I love this recipe because of all the colors that are in it;
 it's literally a rainbow!
