Layla and I had a blast visiting with friends in San Antonio this weekend! We even had some gluten free pizza at Fralo's outside the city. Yum!!
We stopped by the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch on the way home and Layla fell in love with a pig she named Wilbur. Even though Wilbur was quite catatonic, Layla took it upon herself to bring him treats of hay and rocks. Wilbur even got a good thirty minutes of grooming during his hibernation. While hanging out in the shade of the petting barn, I was thinking about summertime salads. Weird, I know... but I was hungry and couldn't look at Wilbur and contemplate eating a meat-based dinner. So while searching online, I came across this one on the Poor Girl Eats Well blog and can't wait to make it!
Garbanzo and Avocado Salad
1 can garbanzo beans, drained
1 small Roma tomato, diced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 small red onion, diced
1 large avocado, chopped
2 scallions, chopped
Small handful of cilantro, finely chopped
Dressing:
Juice of 2 medium oranges
1 T rice vinegar
1 t olive oil
1 T honey
1/8 t salt
Couple pinches of cayenne pepper
A very generous amount of ground black pepper
Prepare the dressing by whisking all dressing ingredients together until completely combined. Combine the beans and all the veggies in a medium bowl and toss together with the dressing. Garnish with extra black pepper if you like, serve over plenty of fresh greens or by itself, and enjoy!
* I plan to throw in some thinly sliced leeks we got from the farmer's market last week. Hel-lo bad breath!
