OK, so I'm happy to announce my second recipe! This one is an invention of my own. This idea kinda came to me (which has a 50/50 chance of being great) and fortunately I LOVE this salad. It's one of my favorites! It requires no dressing, it's healthy and it's delicious (if I do say so myself). 
You will need the following ingredients
1 Can of Chick peas (or a packet of Chickpea Magic from tasty bites)
Spinach
1 fillet of Tilapia (actually any fish will do)
2 squash
1/2 a tray of sliced mushrooms
3 tbsp oil
1 Clove of garlic
1tbsp paprika
1 Can of Chick peas (or a packet of Chickpea Magic from tasty bites)
Spinach
1 fillet of Tilapia (actually any fish will do)
2 squash
1/2 a tray of sliced mushrooms
3 tbsp oil
1 Clove of garlic
1tbsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1-2 Laughing cow cheese wedges.
First your go
nna want to chop up your squash into chunkie pieces. I used grey squash today, but usually I do a yellow squash mixed with zucchini. put your squash with your chickpeas and your seasonings. If you use the packet of chickpea magic, you don't need to use any seasonings. Also you can make this more of an Italian dish with Italian seasoning, or more of a hardy flavored salad with steak seasoning. With this meal, seasonings make ALL the difference. Season your veggies boldly because this will replace your salad dressing. Place 2 tbsp oil, the squash, mushrooms and seasonings in a frying pan and cook, stirring occasionally. you'll want to cook this for about 7-10 min, or until all the veggies seem to be cooked through. To speed up the cooking process go ahead and place a lid on the veggies, just don't forget to stir it frequently, and keep an eye on them so they don't burn. Veggies will cook down to about 2/3 it's original size.
1/2 tsp pepper
1-2 Laughing cow cheese wedges.

Once veggies are cooked, add the fillet of fish to the pan and about 1 more table spoon of oil. Cover and cook for a few min. Once the fish starts to cook, go ahead and flake it off into the veggies. It should start to be a mix of veggies and fish. you should also notice a good amount of oil and juice from the squash at the bottom of the pan. This will all be necessary for your salad, so don't drain the contents. once the fillet is cooked and flaked in add to the top of a bed of spinach, juice and all. Finally, take a wedge or two of Laughing cow cheese and cut into small chunks to place on the top of your salad.
as you see in the picture, this can be a very pretty salad. Feel free to add Corn if it's in season, this gives it a slightly sweeter taste and is very nice.
bon apatite!
