Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocados
In my eyes anything with avocados is a WIN. Don't know what to do about leftovers, stuff it in an avocado, you can't go wrong :) This is an extremely versatile recipe, any leftovers would go GREAT!! Leftover chili? Can of tuna sitting in your pantry? Leftover salad or slaw? Leftover chicken --> chicken salad stuffed avocados. Add some Sriracha to give it a "kick" and you're in for a protein-packed treat! Made with greek yogurt, no mayo, no oil, but lots of great seasoning. The chicken salad included leftover organic roasted chicken I had done the Sunday night before. Feel free to adjust the ingredients, add more veggies, add more spices, add salsa & black beans for a tex-mex version! Endless possibilities! The PICTURE reflects my simple chicken salad made with a greek yogurt dressing, celery, roasted shallots and raisins.
Key Lime Pie Smoothie
This is a modified recipe adapted from a friend of a friend's recipe. The original recipe had more lime zest and lime juice (3-4 limes) but I chose to just add one to please my taste buds. You can certainly add more tartness as you desire but I was happy with just using the zest and juice of one lime. This smoothie was super refreshing and very filling...a great way to start your day with the bursting flavors that will wake you right up...and what a great way to use avocados!

Celebrate the summer with this grilling zucchini and chickpea salad! To contrast the tenderness of grilled zucchini, I have used crunchy roasted chickpeas.

Sugar Snap Pea Salad
In this unusual summer salad, funky, creamy Camembert and crisp, juicy sugar snap peas unite make a texturally complex and very flavorful dish. You can use any washed rind cheese here as long as it’s ripe enough to be spread on a plate. If you can’t find a gooey-centered cheese, you can substitute a creamy goat cheese instead. Pea shoots make an ideal garnish, echoing the flavor of the sugar snaps, but if you can’t get them, use any baby green or micro green in its place. If you want to work ahead, you can blanch the peas and mix up the dressing several hours ahead. But don’t combine the salad ingredients until just before serving. In this dish, freshness is key.
