Part of my relaxing this summer and not stressing about TTC or IF treatments (or lack of them during the summer) is to do things I like and that make me happy. The sort of things that make me who I am or at least who I want to be and not the person I've become during this last year and a half of treatments and 3 years of TTC.
So, here's to trying more new recipes, doing some arts and crafts, sewing, reading and just plain ol' enjoying summer!
Here's the recipe I found this weekend and tried last night. Very simple and full of ingredients I like individually, so why wouldn't they be good together? I quite liked this. Hubby liked it too!
Meksikolainen maissisalaatti / Mexican corn salad
| 1 bag / ~1 1/3 cup | frozen or canned corn |
| 1 | avocado |
| 1 | cucumber (peeled, unless you use an English cucumber) |
| 1 | red onion |
| 3 tablespoons | finely chopped herbs, for ex. basil, chives and parsley |
| 2 tablespoons | lemon juice |
| 1 tablespoon | olive oil |
| pinch | salt & ground black pepper |
Melt and drain the corn. Cut the avocado in half, remove the stone and then peel it. Cut the avocado into little pieces and sprinkle the lemon juice on top of it to prevent it from browning. Cut the cucumber into little cubes. Peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Mix all the ingredients together. Make the dressing by mixing the lemon juice, oil and herbs together. Then pour it on top of the salad. Stir it together and enjoy!
