The Busy Girl Salad

02/12/2013

This blog is an extension of my love to create delicious food that is suitable for serving a crowd, and is no reflection of what I actually eat every day.

Busy Girl Salad

Though I WISH I could eat cake, pie, cupcakes,Β and ice cream every day, the reality is a lot more like the pictures you see here.

Busy Girl Salad

Here’s a super-quick lunch idea for busy guys and gals on the go usingΒ wild-caught canned salmon or tuna (available at grocery stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s), which provides anΒ easy, no-cook, and delicious protein boost to your salad.

The key is to chop everything up into little pieces using a sturdy pair of kitchen shears.

And for dessert, I like to finish it off with a square or two of dark chocolate!

The Meg Salad
Serves 1

Printer-friendly version

2 large handfuls organic spinach or mixed greens

1-2 medium carrots, sliced thin or shredded in a box grater

1/3 – 1/2 medium avocado

3-4 oz. canned wild salmon, drained (or substitute wild canned tuna)

Other add-ins: I also like to add sliced cherry tomatoes, chopped zucchini, and a tablespoon of ground flaxseed if I feel like it/when I have it on hand.

Good-quality balsamic vinegar

Extra-virgin olive oil

Fresh ground pepper

Add the spinach/greens, carrots, avocado, and salmon to a medium mixing bowl. Add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and a few shakes of fresh ground pepper. Chop the salad using a good-quality pair of kitchen shears,Β turning the bowl around in aΒ circle asΒ you go with your other hand. Transfer to a salad bowl and season with extra balsamic vinegar and black pepper, if desired.

One more angle of the bedroom I shared yesterday. One more angle of the bedroom I shared yesterday. We decorated the rest of this client’s home in vibrant blues and purples so I wanted to continue that color story in their main bedroom but in a more muted, calming way. This couple is obviously not afraid of pattern mixing (😍) and it was truly such a joy to hand select fabrics for each element in the room. 🎶
