The photo below makes my lunch look like an unappetizing but colorful mush--even so, my Cilantro Avocado Salad was the perfect way to fuel my pre-New Year's Eve work shift.
I finely chopped a generous bunch of cilantro and spinach, added 3 thinly sliced radishes, cubed a whole avocado and halved two handfuls of cherry tomatoes. I mixed the salad with a homemade lemon mustard vinaigrette and polenta. I was originally going to use quinoa in the salad, but I had sadly used all my quinoa in a previous recipe earlier in the month and had none left over. The polenta made for an interesting but suitable substitution.
I feel like this bowl of superfoods really powered me through a long shift running up and downstairs from my section in the lounge to our kitchen upstairs and back.
Thankfully, the evening--although long--went relatively smoothly, and it was lucrative. I even made it home in time to enjoy my neighbors' smorgasbord of fireworks.
