A Great Salad...

This weekend was great. We spent Easter with my Aunt and her family at THE BEACH. It was really fun friday, but Saturday was a little cold, ok, a lot cold. Galveston was about 40 degrees during the day. "The Beach" only got about five minutes, until Lily started shaking. Should have brought my camera...

Yesterday was a little bit hard. I felt like I cleaned the house the whole day. I kept picking up and picking up, doing laundry etc. I think coming back from Holiday weekends does that to you.
We however got to go to Hermann Park, and see the ducks, which Lily loved. I should have brought my camera....

I did however have a good end to the day thanks to what I made for dinner. Last night was the best salad I can make myself (the best salad award will always ultimately go to Gma Malin). The past two night have been really good meals, and from yes, the garden. God has blessed us with lettuce, cilantro, and loquats!

Sunday consisted of :

Grilled Chicken
Loquat Chutney (very tasty by the way)
Pineapple Rice

Monday consisted of:
Asian Chicken Salad (utilizing of course the grilled chicken leftovers from the night before)

Recipe as follows:

Asian Chicken Salad
1/2 sliced almonds coated with melted sugar
1/2 head Romaine
1 cup chopped red cabbage
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 orange sliced up (or can of mandarin)
Green onions to taste
1 breast grilled chicken

Dressing:
1/2 tsp. Salt
dash pepper
1/4 c. veggie oil
chopped cilantro
2 Tbs. sugar
2 Tbs vinegar
1 tsp. soy sauce
dash of sesame oil

This is probably the best salad I have ever made, and it satisfies a meal, not just and appetizer, though omit the chicken and it probably would make a good appetizer as well. It is very good for those want to try....and full of key ingredients aka. lettuce and cilantro
