Signature LLL Salad

Posted on by

Seth suggested I name this the “LivingLikeLinds” salad, because I make it at least once a week, if not twice, and have been doing so for almost a year.

  • Organic herb lettuce mix
  • Cilantro
  • Tri-color pepper rings
  • Avocado
  • Black olive
  • Red onion
  • Kosher Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Olive oil

I throw the lettuce in a big bowl and cut it up for ease of eating. Then I add a ton of fresh chopped/milled cilantro, tri-color mini bell peppers quickly sliced into rings, diced avocado, rinsed black olive, and diced red onion. Then I season generously with kosher salt and black pepper, and a light drizzle of olive oil. Toss, and inhale 🙂

This salad is so flavor, and incorporates all the colors you need in a day from vegetables in one meal: purple, red, yellow, orange, green (isn’t it gorgeous?). This is definitely a recipe for those individuals that have an aversion to black olives or avocado, as the tastes meld perfectly. Trust me!

Spicy Steak Salad

The other night Seth suggested we make a spicy steak salad-I do the salad and he does the meat. This works well for us when we’re in the kitchen: he’s the meat and I’m the fruits and veggies.

Spicy Steak Salad

  • Organic lettuce mix, whatever you prefer
  • Diced red onion
  • Halved grape tomatoes
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Cilantro, chopped, A LOT of cilantro
  • Grass fed thin steak, seasoned to your liking

Since we wanted some spice, Seth threw a couple different kinds of pepper in a grinder to get them very fine, then used this dry rub on the steak before grilling [warning, can be very spicy when finely ground!].

I typically use an organic herb lettuce mix, as most times, it contains cilantro (as well as a few other fresh herbs) anyway 🙂 I use kitchen shears to cut lettuce for any salad I make, it just makes it so much easier to eat when you don’t have those big hunks of lettuce that I hate!

I tossed all of the veggies into a bowl and then threw in the cubed, fresh grilled steak, and dressed it in a light olive oil, lemon, and lime juice mixture.

Strawberry Banana Honey Salad

My freezer is already full of brown bananas, combine that with my refusal to waste food and I needed something to do with my two sad, very ripe bananas last night.

I decided to slice them and throw them in a bowl with some fresh strawberries. Then I saw our raw alfalfa honey we bought from the North Park Farmers Market a couple weeks ago staring at me, so I decided to drizzle a little over the fresh fruit. OH EM GEE.

This might be my new favorite healthy treat because of how flavorful it is, not to mention SUPER easy (my preference) and a way to use up really ripe bananas. Quadruple win (health, flavor, ease, not wasting food)!
