Improv dinner

I had absolutely no idea what I was gonna have for dinner last night, and I didn't want to go grocery shopping - so I started to look at what I already had at home. I ended up making a dressing/dip (I used it on top of my salad and to dip my fries in), sweet potato fries and a simple salad on the side.

Dressing/dip

  • 1/2 red pepper
  • 1/3 zucchini (the soft middle part)
  • 1 large stalk of celery
  • 1 small handful of scallion 
  • 1/3 avocado
  • the juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 cup mango
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • salt and pepper to taste 
Throw everything together in a blender/food processor and voilà! If the consistency ends up being too thick for your liking, add some water to it :-)



I always use paprika powder and cinnamon when I make my sweet potato fries. The sweetness from the cinnamon and the kick from the paprika.. I'm telling you. It's AMAZING. I don't use any oil on them. I just season them right after I rinse them, and they're ready to go! 220' C in the middle of the oven for about 30-40 minutes (depends how thick you cut them) flip them halfway through baking and they should be perfect. 



My salad was just some spinach, kale and romaine mixed with tomatoes and cucumber. I squeezed a lemon wedge over it and put my dressing on top. Super simple - but tasty. and good for you!
