guacamole salad

I noticed one day eating chips and guacamole that the ingredients to make guacamole can be used to make a simple salad. This salad encompasses most of the ingredients used to make guacamole. Its really easy and without the tortilla chips more healthy.

Ingredients
one small onion minced
halved cherry tomatoes
chili paste
diced avocado
salt
pepper
olive oil

Method:
The preparation of the salad is very easy. First peel the avocado and dice it into cubes. Next, mince a small white onion. After mincing the small white onion, half about 10 cherry tomatoes. With most of the ingredients prepared, place them into a mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients with the chili paste, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Serve as is and it will become a simple go to salad for any occasion. It has all of the flavors we associate with our favorite dip with tortilla chips. It is delicous enough to forget guacamole. I am just joking you probably will have guacamole again after making this salad. I am sure you will enjoy this salad. Enjoy!

Grilled Teriyaki Salmon

As the warm months are approaching, it is always in good taste to have as many recipes for the grill as possible. Living here in Tel Aviv, the weather is always good enough for a barbecue or for any outdoor gathering. Having done research on what people like to grill, one of the favorite answers was grilled fish. More specifically grilled salmon. It is easy to make and easy to please.

Ingredients:
soy sauce
brown sugar
black pepper
chili paste
cinnamon
basil
garlic
salmon steaks

Method:
First you should prepare your grill. If you have a charcoal grill that would mean lighting the charcoals. If you have a propane grill, that means preheating the grill so that it is at the correct grilling temperature. Then combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, pepper, chili paste, basil, garlic, and cinnamon. Place the salmon steaks in the marinade for about 20 minutes. When the grill is hot cook the salmon for about 5 minutes per side. Salmon is perfectly fine to be eaten at medium. It does not need to be well done because if its well done usually it is dry. Serve with a side salad, roasted eggplant, or rice. Next time you want to make fish, try grilled salmon. It will be a favorite of yours once you try it once. Enjoy!
