Lunch with a friend

Many people shy away from a vegetarian meal and as my mom would say, she was not completely full unless she had meat in her meal. I think this couldn't be furthest from the truth and with a little imagination you can have a wonderful healthy and meat free lunch. My friend came over to help me after my recent move and I took the opportunity to make a lovely salad. My question is always do you like this.... on your salad and it was great to have someone say sure, anyway you want to make it! I had some artisan greens I picked up at Costco and added arugula, carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, sliced almonds, and to top it off drizzled it with lemon juice and basil infused grapeseed oil. Now we can't be totally healthy, where would the fun in that be. I severed the salad with Lemon Chili Cassava chips. For those of you who haven't tasted cassava, it closely resembles potatoes and makes for great crunchy chips. You can find them at specialty food stores or Punjabi markets. Happy shopping!
