So summer's finally coming to an end.
...But who says you can't enjoy something light in the fall?!
I don't know about you guys, but I'm from the Mid-west and come the Fall season, we are all about chilis, soups, soul food (okay, maybe the soul food is all year round) and all of those wonderfully, warm, comfy (heavy) meals.
But what happens if you're in the mood for sumpin' different? ....What if this time, you'd like to still fit in those skinny jeans all winter?!.....Or, maybe you just want something green and healthy!
Who cares why you want it, you just do!
Toasted Asparagus & Avocado Salad
(Servings: 1)
-asparagus spears
-sugar snap peas
-raw hemp seeds (handful)
-raw sunflower seeds (handful)
1/2 an avocado
-small sweet peppers
-garlic powder, turmeric, s+p
1. Cook the asparagus and snap peas in a skillet on medium heat (I use safflower oil-very little!) until they're bright green.
2. Remove them both from the heat, season w/ sea salt+pepper, garlic powder, turmeric and set aside.
3. Chop your sweet peppers into rounds and add them to the skillet (on low-medium heat), along with a handful of raw sunflower seeds.
4. When the sunflower seeds have a slight brown tint, remove them and the peppers from the skillet and toss them on top of your asparagus and snap peas.
5. Slice half an avocado and toss it into your salad.
6. Top the salad with raw hemp seeds.
DEVOUR LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
...Okay, please chew carefully!..However, I must warn you, you might lose it a little!
Enjoy!!!
