Fruit Salad

This post is mainly to show off the nice camera on my new phone. This salad was very light and didn't make me feel weighed down like those cake batter cinnamon rolls did the other day. I used the 'vintage' setting on my camera to give the pictures that nice...vintage look. I think it's a nice change.

Honey Cilantro Dressing

I've never really been a huge fan of salad dressings. Probably because I've never been a huge fan of salads until recently. The bottles of salad dressing you get at the store are just pumped up with a bunch of ridiculous ingredients, such as sugar and salt. Why do I want sugar and salt in my salad dressing? Okay, some homemade salad dressings do call for sugar and salt, but I want to be in control of how much goes in my dressing.

This is my new love. Homemade salad dressings. They even make me have a deep love for salad. Sometimes.

This salad dressing is filled with great things. Things that make my taste buds do crazy things because they are so delighted to be covered in this nice salad dressing. I think I've shared too much.

Cucumber Avocado Salad

I had an avocado going bad in the fridge and some fresh cucumber from Paul's garden that I wanted to find some way to make a delicious salad with. This recipe was very simple and I found all of the ingredients right in my fridge. I liked the lemon-lime salad dressing because it didn't come from a bottle with any added sugar like most bottled salad dressings.

Okay, I have to admit, I wasn't in love with this recipe. I guess you have to really love avocado and cucumbers to love this recipe, which Mom does. She probably could have eaten the entire bowl of this stuff.  Which is the main reason why I am adding this recipe to this blog. I wish I had liked it more, and I will definitely make it again and eat some because I should like this more.

Did you know avocado's lower bad (LDL) cholesterol and raise good (HDL) cholesterol?

I didn't until yesterday. But this is just another reason to eat more avocados.

I have two more in the fridge that I'll need to eat soon anyway.
