Salad with Pea Shoots and Lime Chipotle Dressing

serves 2 ~ $3.14 per serving

5 oz mixed greens ($2.69)

1 medium onion ($.05)

1 avocado ($1.49)

pea shoots ($.50)

4 tablespoons lime juice ($.75)

2 tablespoons agave ($.40)

4 tablespoons olive oil ($.40)

1 large clove garlic ($.05)

1 teaspoon cider vinegar

1/2 to 1 teaspoon chipotle seasoning ( I used a Mrs. Dash brand)

1 teaspoon lemon pepper

1 teaspoon salt

lime slices for garnish

It think it might be possible to eat salad every day and not eat the same one in a lifetime, there are so many variations in salads and dressings.

This is really simple. Just assemble the salad and whir up the dressing ingredients in a blender. A bullet type blender works really well for this, although I use a pint canning jar attached to the blade assembly of my blender. Add a few lime slices for garnish.

Oh, one more garden thing!

I blogged about the giveawayhere. Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway!

After checking out Dollar Seeds I decided I have to buy their Bulk Corn Holiday Hybrid. Everyone in my family loves corn, and I can't wait til I can plant it. Dollar Seeds also has so many great sprouts; looking forward to shopping there!

The best thing about gardening for me is knowing that I have fresh organic produce that I can get! Plus I love to see the spout grow and become a plant.

I live where it is not possible to have a garden, so I enjoy gardening by proxy by reading about it, looking at pictures and shopping at a farmers' market.

I "liked" the page on Facebook, but I already have the site on my RSS feed for daily reading. 🙂 I have been working on changing my food lifestyle and your blog has been the most helpful because of the delicious recipes and cheap prices. I also plan to start gardening this Spring so I can have my own fresh produce to "cook" with!

HiHoRosie

That is a darling cake – I love it! And love those fuzzy caterpillers. They're my fave!

Meant to say "this" website, i.e. rawon10, not "those websites." ack!

Great article, great blog! I like this frugal raw approach 🙂

I've tipped a couple of your entries on tiptheweb.com. Don't remember which ones though…but it has saved those tips, so if you start an account with them in the next six months, and "claim" those websites, those tips should be waiting for you. Of course, if you don't want any of it, don't worry and have a nice day 🙂

I LOVE pea shoots! Are they in season where you are?

Elizabeth

Best thing for me is being outside, praising God for his glorious creation!!!
BTW–very clever how your menu card has the pea shoots on it too!!! Love it!
Peace and Raw Health,
Elizabeth

Dollar seeds has a nice selection of veggies, sprouts, and herbs. Plus bulk and $1 packs.

What I love most about gardening is standing back and gazing at all the plants growing and producing.

I liked you on FB.

Jamie

I also visited Dollar Seeds. I like the disclaimer that their seeds are grown organically even if the farms haven't met certification yet – that is a long process. I can't wait to order from them in the spring!

I liked you on Facebook! Would love some seeds!

I also liked Raw on $10 on FB.

Thanks for hosting the give away!

I love gardening because it gets me outside and gives me such a sense of satisfaction! I grow veggies and native plants, so I benefit my body, my mind, and my neighborhood, too!

Excellent giveaway! I would love to win some seeds. What I like most about gardening is when you see the first tiny fruit or vegetable start to emerge. I love tracking the sugar snaps!

kelli

great photos, post and giveaway!

what i love most about gardening is watching my little niece pick and eat straight from the vine.

I think gardening is amazing, but unfortunately, I have a black thumb and everything I touch seems to die. We also have a lot of snakes by us and I am petrified, so gardening is out for me. I would love to be able to garden, though. I leave it up to my hubby. Need to do some garden boxes I think….

I love seeing my little round green tomatoes turn yellow, orange, and then red as the summer goes on.

I'm not entering cuz I won the last one! <3 But gardening is very gratifying. I currently have a tea tray covered in green grape tomatoes (sposed to be yellow or red, I think) waiting for them to ripen. I had to salvage them from the frost!

I enjoy being out in the fresh air and sunshine while gardening. It is most satisfying making a meal or preserving the harvest from your own garden.

Get Skinny, Go Vegan.

Enjoy that I know where my food comes from! DON'T enjoy slugs on my Kale!

Cutest cake idea EVER.

Also, I am starting my first backyard garden in the spring. I finally have the space and decided to just jump in feet first. I am having so much fun deciding what to plant and where.
