Sometimes it's hard to think of something to eat for lunch, especially when it needs to be gluten free.
The other day, I invited my mother in law over last minute and had to think of something fast.
It was a warm day, and we wanted something light. In 20 minutes, I threw this beautiful platter together and we ( my husband too) enjoyed some laughter and conversation along with these naturally gluten free and vegetarian goodies. It was really tasty and healthy with a Mediterranean flair .
Fresh mozzarella, Jicama, red onion, guacamole, eggs, humus, and tomatoes sprinkled
with spices.
The platter consisted of a Capese ring of tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and a little chopped red onion sprinkled with salt less seasoning and cumin and drizzled with a little olive oil. The center is jicama slices ( which contain a substance to stimulate with weight loss). The first little bowl held my fastest ever guacamole, while the other bowl held some store bought garlicky humus. I garnished the center with hard boiled eggs that I always have ready in my refrigerator. In addition, ( but not shown) , I also made a red cabbage and carrot coleslaw ,and we were delightfully happy.
