Or as I like to think of it; the pregnant girl manna.
A few years ago I make this salad and bring it to the beach to share.
Jessica, quite pregnant at the time oohs and ahhs over it and tells me it meets all her crazy pregnancy needs.
I’m happy to have provided a good lunch and all is well.
Until the next summer, when I am in her former state and she returns the favor.
It is only then than I truly understand what she was trying to say.
This salad was like food to a starving Ethiopian kid. (I guess that dates me.... my father would have said Chinese kid.. I don't know what the starving kid de jour is but let me tell you send him some of this salad and everyone will be good.)
Bottom line, I cried in gratitude.
Seriously.
3 Avocados, chopped in 1 inch cubes
10 Cherry Tomatoes, halved or quartered depending on size
1 can of garbanzo beans
1/2 red onion diced
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 can of salmon
Mix it all together and serve over lettuce, in lettuce as a wrap, or with flax chips or flax crackers.
