{eating my veggies} day 1
directions form the article:
2. Mix wedges of tomatoes and peaches, add slivers of red onion, a few red-pepper flakes and cilantro. Dress with olive oil and lime or lemon juice. Astonishing.
oh my this salad is good! i admit i was a bit skeptical by the pairing of tomatoes with peaches but decided to be daring and adventurous and try it anyway. that’s part of the point of this whole thing anyway – to find new ways of preparing veggies….all i know is i want to eat this salad every day for the rest of my life, thank you very much, the end.
this salad has a great mix of sweet and savory and the red pepper flakes give it just a bit of heat which is surprisingly refreshing especially considering i’m not normally one to go for spice. my 14 year old son came in while i was making this and asked if he could have some too. he practically inhaled his plate. he loved it so much my 9 year old son asked if he could have a bite and he loved it too. looks like i may not be the only one who’s going to like this 30 days of more veggies 
here’s what i used to make enough salad for 2:
- 1 ripe peach cut into thin slices
- 2 small tomatoes cut into thin slices
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 2 tsp minced red onion
- sprinkle of red pepper flakes
- for dressing – whisk together juice from 1/2 lime, 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt and a bit of fresh ground pepper
