Have you ever been such a busy bee that when you came home from the grocery store you realized, not only did you forget something, but you brought home another thing that already had fair representation in the fridge? Like cilantro. I’ve purchased cilantro three times in less than a week. Not good.
Luckily my roommate’s gym schedule is about an hour behind my yoga schedule. And since we both go to the grocery store on a daily basis {I wish I was joking}, I knew he could pick up that onion that slipped my mind. And as far as the boat loads of cilantro? I’d just whip up a batch of super summery chicken salad and pretend the overstock was all on purpose.
And then I’d be thankful. Because chicken salad with cukes, red onions, cilantro, lime, and homemade mayo is such a darn good combo. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper and man oh man, you’ve got yourself something special.
