Two Salads, One Dressing

Sometimes, like Friday night or on a busy Saturday evening, you just don’t want to have to cook too much. Maybe you had a big lunch out with friends, or you have a movie to get to in a hurry. Well, there are healthy, fresh, tasty meals just waiting to be made and they really don’t take too long at all.

I made these two salads for just such an occasion. Filling, satisfying and eaten with quickly broiled fish or other seafood, this would be a complete meal. The dressing is very versatile, you could really use it on anything. Play with the vinegars or even the herbs and you have yourself an entirely different dressing again!

I know I use entirely too much cilantro, but you either love it or hate it, and guess what? I love it.
