We're having a great dinner tonight. Homemade pizza pockets and a wonderful, slightly-spicy salad that I've been playing with to get "just right". The last time I made it I received a less-than-stellar response to it. I liked it, but no one else in our family did. Crossing my fingers that this is the one! Although if not, I still like it, and that means leftovers for me! This recipe is a Meals Maven exclusive.
Salad Ingredients: 1 c. frozen corn 1 c. black beans 1/2 each yellow, red, and green bell peppers (diced) 1 carrot, ribboned 5 green onions, sliced thinly 10 grape tomatoes, quartered 1/2 avocado, diced Dressing Ingredients: 1/2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1 tbsp lime juice 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 tsp sea salt 1/2 tsp dried cilantro 1 pinch cayenne pepper 1/8 tsp chipotle powder 1/4 tsp cumin seeds 1/2 tsp chili powder Mix all the ingredients except avocado together, and toss in the dressing. Allow to rest for 1-2 hrs. Add the avocado right before serving to keep it fresh and green. Pictured with Pizza Pockets. Verdict: First son said "It's awful!" Second son didn't try it. Husband said "So much better this time. I like it". So there you go. We'll be making this again, even if it's just for the hubs and I.

The pita pockets and salad look so tasty. Looked at the ingredients of both and decided to pick up what I need at the store and make them tomorrow for dinner. Mmm!

Turning these pizza pockets into pita's is a great idea! I'd also pick up a head of romaine lettuce to fill them with more bulk. Enjoy!
