Well, Mom, it has been as hot as James Franco lately and spending time in the kitchen has become a low priority. Trust me, there are still plenty of old and new cookbooks waiting to be reviewed (hello, Ad Hoc, sitting on my dining room table because you’re too big to fit on a book shelf!).
But for now, Mom, I thought I’d ask a question you’ve most likely heard a million times before: What’s for supper? When it’s hot like this – triple digits this week – and your kitchen – like mine – is not air conditioned, what do you eat?
Here’s mine to share. Let’s call it a deconstructed guacamole chicken salad.
Ingredients
One broiled chicken breast (seasoned with just salt & pepper) cut into bite size pieces
One avocado cut into bite size pieces
A Roma tomato, diced
A can of black beans, rinsed and drained
A jalapeno pepper, diced
Fresh juice from one or two limes, depending on taste and the juiciness of the limes
Fresh ground pepper and coarse sea salt to taste
Chopped cilantro, about a tablespoon
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and adjust seasoning. I think corn could also be added.
I ate it cold and it was delicious and really light and healthy!
So, that’s what’s for dinner at my house. Now how about you? What’s for dinner?
