Succulent Slaw

I mentioned before that breakfast was my least favorite meal of the day, so it needs to be said that LUNCH is my favorite. Oh yes, and sandwiches are quite possibly my favorite food. You are probably thinking, "Whoa, she is so unrefined," right about now. Just hold on a tic. I'm not just a turkey and mayo on generic white sliced bread kinda girl. What gets my heart racing is a beefy sandwich, the kind that you need two hands to pick up. Multigrain bread, mounds of thick cut turkey, sprouts, avocado, cream cheese, cranberry sauce, the works..... the only thing that can beat a lunch like that is if you threw in a some potato chips- UGH.

Anyhow, you already know I love sandwiches, but I also adore salads, wraps, soup and veggie platters. I don't typically follow recipes for salads and wraps, I simply make them up with the contents of my fridge, or if I'm lucky, inspiration strikes when I'm in the produce isle at the grocery store. 

Reminder: I currently live on an island off the coast of Africa. My grocery store/markets are by no means the caliber I'm used to in California, or a Whole Foods to say the least! I work with what I have, so feel free to substitute better options for you and your family, i.e.: organic options that I might not have access to.

Succulent Slaw:
One small bag of mixed lettuce (lettuce, carrot and purple cabbage)
One large floret of broccoli (raw), washed and cut into bite size pieces 
One large avocado, sliced or cubed (your preference) 
Toasted sunflower seeds 
Dressing: Caesar dressing 

*(If I were making a true broccoli salad I would have done an easy dressing with olive oil mayonnaise and white vinegar and a teeny dash of sugar. I wouldn't have added lettuce, the bulk would be all broccoli florets and I would have added diced red onion and raisins too! ) 

*The best (and unhealthiest) broccoli salad I ever made is here. Sometimes it feels so good to be bad!

    For the Love of Food

    I think eating well is a form of self-respect, and that's evident in my recipes.
