Peruvian Style Chicken

This dish could completely stand alone as a 1 dish meal, or add a side dish.  I served ours with some frenched beans.  Recipe in Against All Grain, Meals Made Simple cookbook. This recipe is very similar if you don't have this cookbook.

Cucumber, Tomato & Avocado Salad

 

Here's what my supper looked like.  Want to make this?  Here's how.  Start by assembling the salad.  This salad is kind of like guacamole meets caprese salad.

 

Cucumber, Tomato & Avocado Salad

1 English cucumber, cubed

3 plum tomatoes, cubed

2 Hass avocados, cubed

1/2 cup red onion, chopped

handful cilantro, chopped

4 shakes Frank's Red Hot sauce

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar 

1 lime, juiced

salt & pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients a chill at least 1 hour before serving.

Next it's biscuit time.  I use this Buttermilk Biscuit recipe but add 2 tsp of dried herbs (basil, oregano, parsley, chives, etc.  Brush with 2 Tbsp melted butter with 1/2 tsp garlic salt.

Next, get that spaghetti squash cooking!  Mine was huge and took an hour to bake.  I follow this recipe loosely:  Spaghetti Squash Bolognese

Lastly, steam and season the broccoli.  

This meal took a fair amount of kitchen time & dishes, but I doubled most of it and will enjoy the leftovers later.
