A Quick Side Salad

3 pickling cucumbers

¼ lg. sweet onion

½ med. tomato

½ avocado

your favorite dressing

Slice and chop the vegetables into a small bowl, toss with dressing and serve with the main dish for dinner.  While I absolutely love to cook, once in a while I'll find something that sounds wonderful in the freezer or deli section of one of the many grocery stores I frequent.

I'll squirrel it away for a busy day when I'm hungry, but need a break from my cooking.  Aldi, which is a German grocery store that's a subsidiary of Trader Joe's, often has great frozen things.  Each time I fine one, it's like discovering a treasure!  I heated up their Shrimp & Lobster Bake tonight and it'll be enough for 2 dinners. Such a nice change! . .Lin
