Vegan Tomato Salad with Cucumber, Avocado, Cilantro, and Lime (Low-Carb, Gluten-Free)

This combination of tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, and cilantro is one of my favorites! (Updated with step-by-step instructions and better photos, July 2014.) This simple but perfect Vegan Tomato Salad with Cucumber, Avocado, Cilantro, and Lime is a favorite summer combination I came up with on a hot summer day in 2008, and when my former neighbor Carol stopped by I shared some with her. Carol loved this combination just as much as I did, and even though it's a spin-off from my Summer Tomato Salad with Tuna, Avocado, Cilantro, and Lime, I decided that vegetarians were never going to look at that salad so this one deserved a post of its own. The recipe calls for a lot of cilantro, which is no doubt one of the reasons I'm so enamored with the salad, but if cilantro is not your thing I think thinly sliced green onion would also be great. And if you're lucky enough to have fresh garden tomatoes and cucumbers at this time of year, this salad is a perfect way to use them!

Cucumber Ribbon Salad with Peppers, Radishes, and Thai Dressing (Low-Carb, Can Be Paleo)

It took a few tries to perfect this Cucumber Ribbon Salad with Peppers, Radishes, and Thai Dressing! I'm back home for a few days, and what an amazing weekend I had in California where I ate at a couple of my favorite restaurants, hung out with some of my favorite bloggers, and attended BlogHer14. At the conference I had a chance to re-connect with so many friends I've made from blogging and also hear from some incredibly inspiring women as well. As I shared on Twitter, the biggest take-away for me from the BlogHer14 conference was that 10 years of women sharing our lives online has empowered all of us. And hopefully many more years to come!

Summer Means Salads with Fresh Herbs, and Things I'm Thinking About on Tuesday (7-8-14)

This Middle Eastern Tomato Salad is a sure sign it's summer! It's definitely summer weather at my house, and I couldn't be happier about it. And although I'm still trying to figure out how to create a garden like I had at my old house, I do have an abundance of fresh herbs growing in those pots along the sidewalk that I mentioned about a month ago. I started with six pots, but quickly decided I needed more basil, so now I have 4 pots of basil, and one each of mint, parsley, rosemary, and dill all thriving in the sun. (They're in one of the few places here that gets bright sun all day long, so I need to remember to go out at dusk and take some photos!
