Grandpa Tom and Emma's First Relay!!!
Now, on to the Quinoa Salad with Avocado, which was my lunch, one day last week. There are so many colorful veggies, red and orange bell peppers, cucumber, and tomatoes plus the avocado, cilantro and quinoa. I love all of the bright colors in the dish. For the dressing I just mixed the juice of one lime with a spalsh of olive oil. There no recipe as such, just add your davorite veggies. I'm not a fan of beans, but my hubby would add black beans. The sky's the limit! Enjoy!
That is just awesome that your team raised so much money. I love the luminary bags, beautiful way to remember. I'm sure you are passed out cold on the couch recovering. Take it easy for a few days, you deserve it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, healthy salad too!

Gina,
DeleteI could hardly move on Saturday, but it was all worth it. The Relay is such a moving experience, anyway, and there is so much going on. They put the luminary bags all around the track, and at dusk they light them. They also spell out Hope in the Bleachers. I didn't get any pics of the bags that were lighted, but hope there will be some.
You should try the salad!
