Small Bite of Goodness

Happy Friday!  My first food post. So, something you may not know about me is that I am not a big breakfast person.  Mainly, because I just don’t have enough time as I am always on the run.  I am trying to do better at getting my morning jump started with a small bite. I am sharing with you an easy on-the-go breakfast or even a light lunch.  It is also a great appetizer for parties.

Ingredients:
4 slices bread
1 Avocado
1 package of smoked salmon
Dollop w/ cilantro dip (recipe below) and garnish with cilantro. Directions: Toast bread and cut into a bias for triangular shape. Slice avocad

o and layer onto bread. Layer with salmon then add a dollop of the sauce/dip below and garnish with cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste.  So, good and easy!!!

For the best cilantro dip:
Cilantro (half of the bundle)
1 8 oz Sour Cream
1/2 juice of Lime
1/2 cup of Helman’s Mayo
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Pepper
2 cloves of garlic
Jalapeno (if you want spicy)
1/4 cup of olive oil

Directions: In a processor, add a cup of loosely chopped cilantro, 8 oz of sour cream, 1/2 cup of Helman’s Mayo, juice of half a lime (depending on how large or small your lime is, you may need a little more), 2 cloves of garlic, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt (I used a little less), a couple of slices of jalapeño (I use 3-4, testing it for spiciness) depending on how spicy you want it. Blend & process.  Add more or less salt/pepper to taste.  NOTE:  you can add in half an avocado.  This makes it even more delicious.  If you add avocado, add another tablespoon of oil.

I use this sauce on my burgers, creamy salad dressing, great with chips or plantains, , also raw veggies as a dip, top of fish tacos, topping for grilled salmon, chicken, fajitas, etc… The possibilities are endless, it really is an amazing dip/sauce that goes with everything. Pour into a mason jar and refrigerate.  The family loves it so much that it doesn’t last in the fridge long as they are always looking for ways to use it.  I hope you enjoy, please leave me a comment. Would love to hear from you. I would love to love to hear from you.

Trim about 3 inches off the bottom then loosely chop.

All the ingredients fit perfectly.  I love the small size of this processor…

Have fun coming up with creative ideas on things to pair with this dip/dressing.  Enjoy!
