Mom Salad

This past weekend my mom, and sister came to play.

Had the best time! Ate the best salad. 

Fed the kids (all 7), then set them free to play while we sat with tall glasses of water,

eating and enjoying a few moments of peaceful kid-free bliss.

"Oh ye-ah."

"OH yeah."

"Ohh...Yeah." 

It's what was said.

Gorgeous and healthful. Try a Mom Salad yourself!

Mom Salad

mango

edamame, cooked and shelled

avocado

fresh corn, cooked and cooled

tomato

green or red onion

cilantro

quinoa, cooked and cooled

(Bulgur or couscous would be great here as well)

Combine. Squeeze fresh lime juice over top. Season with sea salt and pepper.

Gently fold together, and that's IT!

Cumin, fresh parsley, and cucumber would also be delicious additions.

You could drizzle the salad with your favorite vinaigrette, but it's fantastic on it's own.

Never cooked quinoa? Head over to Our Best Bites to see a great tutorial.

(Holy crap! I just visited obb to get their quinoa link

and found out they also have a mango-quinoa salad.

Creepy and weird.

Their version is similar and looks delicious!)
