This dinner deserves its own special post. Master Chef Bret pulled this one together after a sauna round at the gym. I give all credit to his culinary skills - this plate was DElish.
Salad: green leaf, red cabbage & purple kale with cucumbers (sliced), tomatoes (quartered), avocado (sliced), jicama (julienned) with a citrus dressing - orange juice (1 cup, fresh), juice of 1/2 lime, splash of apple cider vinegar, splash of canola oil, squeeze of agave, 1t grated ginger, S&P to season
Seasoned Fries: 1 potato (cut lengthwise into 1/2" stripes), seasoned with: old bay, cayenne, chili powder, S&P, olive oil: baked @ 450 degrees until crispy. Whole grain mustard makes for good dipping sauce.
Portobello Mushroom Sandwich: sautéed onions (sliced) & 1 red pepper (sliced) in olive oil (in medium heat until caramelized... put in peppers first b/c they take a bit longer). 2 portabellas (cleaned, stem removed from cap, top-side down, brushed with olive oil and seasoned with salt, pepper, fresh (or dry) thyme), pop under broiler for about 5 minutes per side. Served on REALLY healthy bread (e.g. live grain bread).
