Now that the weather is starting to get warmer (…maybe if I say it, it will be true), it’s time to stop eating pizza and pasta every day and get back to a healthier lifestyle of fresh foods and less carbs. I know I have personally been too unhealthy these past couple winter months so I am turning it around! I got a ton of fruits and veggies at the grocery store this weekend and I’m ready to make a change! In fact, I decided I’m only going to drink wine on the weekends (unless I have an event or dinner meeting or something), but that’s a whole other story.
So now that I’m in my healthy phase, I’m going back to some of my favorite spring and summer recipes. This one might be my all time favorite. And if you want to add a little creamy goodness, throw on some avocado slices – yum!
You’ll Need:
¼ onion, diced
1 tomato, diced
4oz fresh mozzarella, diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
½ can chickpeas
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in bowl; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Super simple and so tasty, this salad is one I eat at least 2 or 3 times per week when it’s not winter. The chickpeas make it filling and adding the avocado slices on top every now and then help switch it up a little. In fact, I think I’ll have this for lunch today.
What’s your go-to salad recipe?

This sounds awesome and very different from the salads I would normally eat. I usually grab some spinach leaves, add a bit of cheese, black beans, kidney beans, and broccoli, then add a dressing (though I should go easy on that).

This probably sounds crazy, but I really dislike dressing. I would SO much rather just use olive oil! I’m weird, I know.

This looks so interesting! I’m like Tori when it comes to salads. I’ve never had one quite like this. But I would absolutely try it and might do so soon! 🙂 I love chickpeas!

It’s so good! I get sick of lettuce very quickly, so I like to come up with different ways to eat healthy 🙂

This looks like such pretty and delicious salad. Wine only on the weekends? How?! Haha

Haha, I’ve been on vacation so that hasn’t been happening, but I’m going to try it this week! (Except maybe for #tgit) 😉

My go-to salad recipe is Spicy Thai Seafood Salad: lime juice, Fish Sauce, sugar, Chili Sauce, mixed cooked seafood, such as large shrimp, peeled and deveined, scallops and calamari rings, cucumbers, mint leaves, red onion, green onions, lettuce leaves, fresh cilantro leaves, and everything together!
