53: Spinach, pumpkin seed and avocado salad (Nigella Feasts DVD)

I know that I am technically cheating since I did not provide a photo, but it would have looked like a pile of leaves anyway. I know I don't eat any much green stuff but since moving out I have discovered there are some green stuff that I actually like: cabbage, zucchini, spinach, avocado, lettuce, rocket, even green capsicum (because often it was cheaper than the red capsicum, go figure). Over the Easter weekend I watched Nigella Feasts on DVD and this was one of the few recipes that caught my eye. It just looked so easy to make and it tastes really good. I did have a moment this afternoon where I almost forgot the smoked salmon, but I think it tastes really good with the smoked salmon. Although I don't approve of always just eating a salad as a full meal, I will admit that this was the only thing I had for dinner. I had no idea what else to eat with it.

I love all the separate ingredients that make up this salad: salmon, pumpkin seeds, spinach, lime and avocado. It is really that easy. The pumpkin seeds at crunch to the mushy avocados. The lime adds zest and the spinach adds a little bitter. Nigella says it all, the salmon just adds that little bit of luxe. It took me under 10 minutes to "cook" and it tasted really great and totally guilt free. If only dinner was always that easy to make.
