To a Healthy New Year!

During 2010 I ate out the most I've ever eaten out in my 30 years of life. Not going to lie, I LOVED it. BUT, it's very expensive, and for the most part, not the healthiest choice. There is something magical about creating and preparing your own food; it's meditative, fun and satisfying. You also are in full control of what you're fueling your body with.

I wanted to share one of my favorite dishes. It's super fast, easy, tasty and healthy. It takes 15 minutes total to prep and make this dish.

To make this dish more substantial, I eat this salad with heated tortillas or pita and hummus. My recommendation is Trader Joe's Sun Dried Tomato and Habanero Hand Made tortillas :)
