Lacking ingredients, cooking tools and time? You would be surprised what creative and delicious salads you can whip up with only a few ingredients.
This weekend I surprised my best friend in Boston. I arrived just a little before dinner time. In an effort to start the weekend out right, I decided to make a healthy salad. After raiding their fridge and cabinets (I had brought along the lettuce, and fennel), this “in a pinch” salad was born. It is refreshing, sweet, creamy, and satisfying– and the bright green is pleasing to the eye.
Salad, In A Pinch
- 2 cups red leaf romaine, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped fennel bulb
- handful of leafy part of the fennel, or dill, broken apart into manageable pieces
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/8 cup red onion
- drizzle of olive oil (less than 1 tsp) *Optional
- generous drizzle of agave syrup (about 2 tsp) I LOVE this part 😉
- Sea Salt to taste
Squish it all together and you’ve got yourself a salad!
On another note, I arrive home today, to find this package of goodies from the wonderful folks at NuNaturals. 
I expect to put these to use in the weeks to follow…
If I have not heard from the two winners by tomorrow at 6:00 pm, I will pick two other winners. Unfortunately, I will not be able to pick anyone from Canada. Sorry!
How do you stay healthy while traveling? Do you have any tips?
