paleo diet :: dinner :: salad, sweet potato, cashew chicken

cooked my first paleo meal of the year tonight. pretty straightforward: salad, sweet potato, cashew chicken, tangerines.

salad:

mixed greens w/ spinach

spicy roasted pecans

white mushrooms

green pepper

radishes

avocado

salad dressing:

olive oil

juice from 2 limes

balsamic

fresh ground lemon pepper

baked sweet potato

coconut curry chicken with cashews:

2 tbsp. olive oil

1 medium onion

1 small tomato

1 tsp. garam masala

4 cloves of garlic

1 inch of raw peeled ginger

(after everything above is cooked thoroughly, puree in a blender with coconut milk)

10 oz. coconut milk

4 pounded chicken breasts*

1/4 cup cashews

*some people use the coconut curry sauce as a marinade on the chicken, and then throw it on the grill. i used it as a sauce for the chicken after roasting it.

tangerines, for a light 'dessert'
