Hola! Feeling inspired from a 2 week va-ca in Baja…and out came these A-mazing muffins! This lunch was part of my weekly menu: 5 vegetarian and gluten free meals. I deliver to clients ever week in SF and you can sign up too, just shoot me an email!
I used cottage cheese and feta to keep the muffins moist and a whole can of chopped peppers also adds moistness (I hate that word).
The Salad may look boring but don’t let the picture fool you. The roasted corn adds depth while the cilantro and lime dressing adds a ton of flavor and freshness. It’s heart healthy deliciousness.
Recipe:
Bob’s Red Mill Corn Bread Mix (here). I kept it low in fat by substituting the oil for cottage cheese and feta. About 1 cup total. Add a can of chopped peppers too. Top with Sliced Jalapeños. Follow baking instructions. baked for 15 minutes in muffin tins
Roast corn with olive oil and salt and pepper at 425 for about 15 minutes, rotating twice. Roast until it’s nice and brown. Let cool completely before cutting off cob.
Dressing: Zest of 2 limes, Juice of 2 limes. 1 T honey. 1 garlic clove minced. 1 T rice wine vinegar. mix well and whisk in olive oil to taste… I used about 2/3 cup. salt and pepper.
The rest is totally up to you. Here is a perfect example of how my cooking is not meant to be technical…. you like avocado, add that. You don’t like black beans… all good. Just combine a ton of veggies. You can not go wrong. I promise you, anyone can make this salad.
