Tasty Tuesday

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Here is another recipe that our family gives two thumbs up.  I found it on this awesome blog called Oh She Glows.  There are a ton of other delicious recipes on there as well, so it is worth checking out.  All that I did that was slightly different was add ground turkey seasoned with some salt, pepper, cumin, and coriander.  Just a little bit of each to flavor.  I think the next time I may put it over some rice or pasta, but it was great just how we had it.  Chad LOVES cilantro and he's a lime lover so I knew this would be a hit.  He said it was so good he wanted to just rub his face in it.  Haha!  Sorry honey, but you did.  Hey, it gives an accurate picture of just how much we loved it!

Not too many ingredients and quick to make.

My pic does NOT do it justice. It's so good though!

Okay, now here's the recipe....

Cilantro Lime Chickpea Salad

Find the original recipe (and a way better pic) by clicking here.... Oh She Glows.

Ingredients:

• One 15-oz can chickpeas (2 cups cooked), drained and rinsed
• 2 cups spinach
• 1/4 cup sweet onion, chopped finely
• Juice from 1.5 limes
• 3/4 cup fresh Cilantro
• 1/2 tsp sugar (or to taste)
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt + ground pepper
• ( 1 - 1.5lb ground turkey if you'd like)

Directions:
(I started to brown and season the turkey first before beginning and then just added it to the mix when all finished)

1. In a food processor, add the spinach and pulse a few times until chopped very small. Add the processed spinach, drained chickpeas, and chopped onion into a large bowl.

2. In the food processor (no need to rinse the bowl!), add the lime juice, cilantro, mustard, sugar, garlic, cumin, and oil. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

3. Pour the dressing on top of the spinach chickpea mixture and stir well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let stand for about 10 minutes to let the flavours develop (optional- I didn’t!). Serve over a bed of grains, like brown rice. Serves 1-2.

Hope you love it too...maybe even as much as Chad! ;)
