Yet another "by accident" recipe that has become one of my favorites! For a friend's party I made a dip which I saw on Food Network that sounds yummy and healthy. Fast forward a few days to a craving I was having for chicken salad and my desire to not use mayonnaise. I opened my fridge and there, staring up at me, was some leftover dip (which has the consistency of hummus); I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it as my healthy mayo. And guess what? YUM!!
Do you ever put ingredients together and just know it's going to taste good?
When I read this blog post, I wanted to try it! And being the impatient person that I am, I did! The next day! Without looking into the ingredients and my inventory... Guys. This is SO easy. We love salmon and I make it frequently so I like to change up how I prepare it (my typical recipe is with an apricot sauce which is to die for- future post for sure!). For this meal, I used the Whole Foods app. Let me just say, if you do not have this app, GET IT! I find more recipes on it than anywhere else and they are healthy and the app is free!! Can't go wrong. Anyway, back to the recipe - I searched salmon and found this on the app. Of course, I made it my own based on what I did and didn't have...
Aly and I grew up eating our mom's very colorful beet and potato Latvian salad! It was a favorite of one of my childhood friends who recently came for a short visit, so I decided it was time to make a batch. I chose regular beets and red skinned potatoes, although any variety of white potatoes would work just as well.
