Saturday, I was craving a salad (that’s a thing), so I got my lettuce out, put it in a bowl and thought I saw something funny. Although the lettuce appeared just fine, it had a light gray mold on it. I tossed it, and was sad.

Then I was inspired to still make a cold salad with vegetables on hand. What I ended up with was fabulous, and, incredibly easy. I’m always looking for veggie change-ups.

Chilled Cauliflower Salad

  • 1 head or medium bag of frozen cauliflower, steamed
  • 1/2 can of fresh cured green olives
  • 1/2 cup loosely chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 1/4 cup diced white onion
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 diced orange bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup garlic feta cheese (totally optional, had some that needed to be used, but otherwise wouldn’t have added dairy)
  • Kosher salt/pepper
  • Light dusting of garlic powder
  • Drizzle of olive oil

Mix everything up and serve 🙂 I just ate the leftovers for lunch and it tastes even better!IMG_3343[1]

Last night, I found myself in the kitchen from 5:50 when I got home from work, until 9pm  I am having to force myself to make the time to do this, because it makes me happy, and fuels my health and well-being. I’m realizing, it also does wonders for my mental health. I’ve been playing around with different filters on our camera too-so fun!

Anyway, I ended up with a fabulous dinner: Steamed cauliflower, Tomato Olive Avocado Smash and Lemon Parsley Eggs!

Tomato Olive Avocado Smash

  • 2 avocados
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 small can of sliced black olives
  • Kosher salt/pepp
  • Garlic powder
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • Drizzle of olive oil

Mix. Ha.DSCN0104DSCN0128

Lemon Parsley Eggs

  • 2 eggs (or however many you want)
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Dried parsley

I broke two eggs in a small saute pan, and let them cook over medium heat with a loose lid over top. When they were getting close to being done, I squeezed fresh lemon juice in the pan. HOLY SHMOLY. So good. I will be adding lemon to eggs more often for sure. Then I plated them and sprinkled parsley on top.DSCN0134

Simple, healthy, flavorful and filling!
