Munchie Mondays: Pico de Gallo Salad

I'm finally getting back into the habit of blogging, which means Munchie Mondays are back! Tonight I invented something quite awesome and I was so excited to share it.

Being pregnant means I need a lot of protein, which can be tough since I try to eat somewhat vegetarian. So I'm always experimenting with recipes to come up with non-animal flesh alternatives. On this particular Monday evening I concocted a Pico de Gallo salad. It was the bomb. Even my husband, who is an old fashioned meat and potatoes kind of guy, said it was great. Here's the recipe!

Pico de Gallo Salad:

Pico-

4 Tomatoes 

1/2 Jalapeno Pepper

1/2 Red Onion

2 Cloves of fresh Garlic (or if you're like me and you don't have patience for fresh garlic, garlic powder to taste works too)

Cilantro

Lime Juice

Salt, Pepper

Dice tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, and toss in a bowl. Chop cilantro and add as much as you like. Add lime juice. Salt and pepper to taste.

Salad- 

Organic Spring Mix

Black Beans

Avocado

Cheddar Cheese (optional)

Make a bed of the spring mix and sprinkle with black beans. Add however many chunks of avocado you like. Spoon the Pico de Gallo over salad bed and top off with cheddar cheese if you like.

Happy Monday everyone!
