Today’s lunch was an awesome salad consisting of our leftover barbecue chicken and corn from last night, and lettuce and cilantro from our garden. That little bowl of green in the first photo is a cilantro lime spread for last night’s corn on the cob. Martha Stewart gave me the idea to mix together olive oil, lime zest & juice, cilantro, salt and pepper to spread over the corn. The excess became the dressing for our salad. It even got a John seal of approval, and green foods tend to scare him a bit.
