Avocado, Egg, and Feta Salad (Vegetarian & Gluten Free)


Yup, it's chick food.  And I fed it to my man.  For dinner.

Sometimes I am mean like that.


Except, really, I am not that mean.  If you think about it.  I am very, very nice.  Because I am making sure he is healthy and lives a long time. I like him a lot and would kinda like to keep him around.

As great as steak and potatoes are, those are not the foods that keep us kicking for a good, long time. 

He can have his steak and potatoes once in awhile (and I will not complain as I love them as well!) and then he can have a healthy whole-meal-salad once in awhile. 

The best part is that he doesn't complain.  In fact, he likes my chick food.  Which maybe means it's not so much chick food as it is people food.


This can be a whole meal by itself, or you can add some bread to accompany it, if you choose.  I choose yes.

Straight from Everyday Food, June 2012

Ingredients

  • Thinly sliced celery
  • Baby arugula or other greens
  • Fresh dill
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Lemon juice
  • Crumbled feta
  • Sliced avocado
  • Hard-cooked eggs, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Toss together celery, greens, and dill. Dress with olive oil and lemon juice. Top with feta, avocado, and eggs.

COST per large plate: $1.70

(includes a whole avocado, which can be quite pricey.  Find a cheap one and dramatically cut the cost...)

Avocado Pizza


Like you, I have fallen in love with Pinterest.  (Like how I just assumed you do?  Well, if you are reading this you probably are a fan of sharing things via the web, which makes me assume you like Pinterest.)  If you haven't jumped on the bandwagon, you really should.  Why?  Because I find great ideas there.  Like this one.  Avocado Pizza.

It's not really a pizza in the traditional sense, but it has all the same elements.  Bread base (pocketless pita bread), sauce (avocados mixed with lemon and salt), and toppings (an egg, sunny-side up).  But it has one thing pizza doesn't have -- a five minute time period, start to finish.


Four easy steps --
1) heat the pita bread on both sides
2) spread 1/2 of an avocado mashed with lemon juice and salt
3) put a fried egg on top
4) eat

Pretty simple, huh?  A pretty tasty, too.  This is my third one this week, if that is saying anything.


You have a weekend to enjoy, and so do I, so I will stop talking about this and just tell you to do it.  You will be coming back to thank me, I am pretty sure.  And then I will be thanking the makers of Pinterest for allowing us to be flooded with such great ideas, all day long ;)

Cost per Pizza: $1.01
