A full day of shooting, filled with styling, chatting, and lots of laughter can make one hungry. Especially when all you brought with you was an apple and a small handful of almonds. My bad.
This is my friend Cindy’s gorgeous home, which I shot a few months ago, and is featured here.
So when I announced to Cindy I had just finished photographing her entire downstairs floor, and was finally ready to tackle the upstairs, you can imagine my excitement (and the rumble in my tummy) when she said to me “Lunch is ready. Wanna stop to eat first?”
I dropped everything when I laid my eyes upon this…
While shooting, I knew I could hear her busy in the kitchen, but I had no idea what kind of feast was being whipped up just a few rooms away…
So I pulled up a chair and sat down to a delightful, colorful feast…
Is she fabulous, or what!
I immediately requested the recipe, which Cindy was kind enough to share…
CINDY’S AVOCADO BROCCOLI SLAW
2 Cups Broccoli Slaw (shredded broccoli, carrots and red cabbage)
1 Large or 2 Small Avocados
1 Cup Crab Meat (real or imitation)
Spring Mix Lettuce Greens
Garlic
Salt
Pepper
Peel and mash avocado(s). Add garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Combine with broccoli slaw and crabmeat. (Can also substitute crabmeat with shredded chicken. Or opt for no fish or fowl for vegan option.) Scoop slaw mixture into a measuring cup or other mold. Invert upside down on top of mixed lettuce greens.
Serve with a side of bread or crackers. (Cindy served ours with a side of Raisin Pecan Sweet Crisps.)
Serves 2 (you and a special friend!)
By the way, I’m super excited for Cindy – her home is currently featured on the cover of Casa Romantica!
Till next time, click and keep up with us on our favorite sites….

No way, Jennifer! You rock big time! I didn't know my salad was blog worthy and with it's own post, too! This post brings back memories of photo shoot day... remember when my taper candle wrapped in music sheet paper caught fire? We should have taken a photo of it in the midst of our screaming and posted it! We could have done a blooper shot letting your fans know that not everything goes as planned! Giggle.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post and the memories!!!!!!
Cindy

look delicious! My friend and I were just talking last night about how we waste Avocados because we never eat a whole one when we first cut them open. This recipe will help with that and I always have those ingredients on hand! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! My husband loved it!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fun and profitable day! As usual, it was good seeing you yesterday..
