I made up my own salad recipe. I'll call it Shrimp or Chicken Salad with Mangos & Tangerine over Tossed Greens.
I marinated a few servings each of chicken and shrimp in orange sauce so there is a choice.
The mango-tangerine mixture also has cucumber and shallot. A little cayenne.
The greens are oakleaf lettuce and ruffly mustard greens, which are so delicious with citrus. I added a plentiful number of peppermint leaves. Toasted almonds over the top.
I made a citrus dressing with pineapple juice, olive oil, and lemon juice.
Cherry kombucha to drink.

It's too freaking hot to even think of actually making something. I might have to go out and buy another watermelon, just to get through the week.

(5,373 posts)Made breading out of instant mashed potato flakes, seasoned up with lemon pepper, salt, garlic power, and a touch of cayenne. Threw a shake of Italian seasoning in there, too.
Jasmine rice and garlicky broccoli as the sides.
Not bad! Overcooked the cod, though. Left it sitting in the off air fryer for a few minutes while making the broccoli, think thats what did it. Will try this again and experiment with spices.
Dessert/Midnight snack: Blueberry banana smoothie.

(34,667 posts)I used some of it to make a steak sandwich with provolone cheese on thick sliced homemade bread. Just now we picked more blueberries, so probably a blueberry sundae here shortly.
