Feeling fresh

Hello and happy May! This was an easy little weekend lunch that turned out to be too adorable not to photograph. I basically grabbed all of my favourite ingredients (including my new found love, cilantro- apparently it no longer tastes like soap to me!) and tossed them in some fresh lime juice and fruity olive oil. The flavours were bright and vibrant and the cucumbers and fresh jalapenos added a welcome crunch. Obviously, a few salty tortilla chips didn't hurt either...

Avocado and spinach salad
Serves 2 

2 cups baby spinach
1/2 roma tomato, chopped
1/2 avocado, chopped
1/4 cup cucumber, chopped
1 tbsp red onion, diced
1 tbsp jalapeno, diced
1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
about 1 tbsp olive oil
about 1 tbs lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
2 handfuls of whole grain tortilla chips

In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients, except for the spinach and tortilla chips, until it looks almost like  a very chunky guacamole. Spoon mixture onto a bed baby spinach and top with tortilla chips. Easy peasy!

Just a quick post tonight, I know... I'm currently watching the Canadian election results (no comment, grr..) and drinking tea while trying to pack/outfit plan for tomorrow when I'll be off to London to attend a swanky dinner with my mum and her colleagues. Speaking of swanky, this weekend I can't wait to go to one of Toronto's best vegan restaurants, Fressen, with some of my favourite friends annnd very soon I can share some exciting news with you all!

Have a great week lovely readers xo
