All the recipes I share on the blog, at least, I make them twice, depending on how “difficult” they are. Difficult in quotes because I hardly make anything too complicated. This cilantro mint dressing, I’ve prepared it like ten times, and not because I want to be sure it tastes right, it is because it has become my new addiction. This dressing is made with cilantro and mint and has a secret ingredient to make it creamy and delicious. And the best part is that this dressing tastes better the next day. Salad with cilantro mint dressing

Salad bowls have been my favorite meal so far this summer. I love them! Sergio suggested that I should post a recipe for a pizza or sandwiches or something that catches more your attention, not just a “salad bowl”. But for me, nothing grabs more my attention than a meal done fast, delicious and very nutritious.

I prepared this salad with quinoa and black beans. But the truth is that you can make it with what you have in the fridge. If you have rice, it would taste delicious, if you do not have pumpkin seeds and have other seeds, use them. What I can love of salad bowls, is that there are no rules, no exact measure, everything is eyeballed and what you have on hand. Here is the recipe for this delicious
