Tiger Salad

by Pam on July 14, 2013

I found this recipe on Bon Appétit^[1] that looked simple and delicious. It was a snap to make and tasted great. I normally only do vinegar based dressing for cucumber salads but I have to say, I really liked the added flavors from the cilantro and sesame oil. I also liked the extra crunch the celery gave to the salad. We all enjoyed this tiger salad, especially my daughter, who had seconds and the leftovers the following day. This cucumber salad paired really well with the Asian Turkey Burgers with Avocado and Sriracha Lime Mayonnaise^[2] and the Asian Quinoa Salad^[3].

Whisk together in a bowl the vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes, until well combined. Add the cilantro, celery, cucumbers, and green onions. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; toss to combine. Place into the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy.

Garbanzos, avocado, quinoa, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, lime juice and cilantro – this flavorful vegetarian salad is loaded with protein, fiber and healthy fats. Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are my new favorite legume. I only recently started liking them in my salads, but now I can’t get enough. Using dried garbanzos taste better than canned, but for speed and convenience, canned is perfectly fine here. This is also vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free and under 250 calories.

I don’t know about you, but I’m counting the days until summer (54
days to go!!) Living near the ocean, nothing makes me happier than
having my feet in the sand with a good book or magazine. But that also
means bathing suit shopping (ugh!) and exposing a lot more skin than I did all winter. My
solution – eat more salads (and of course exercise)!

This salad is perfect for lunch, you can make it ahead, leaving the cucumbers and avocado out, and add the just before your ready to serve.
