6am this morning, my phone rang shrilly!!

The breakfast lady at work had called in sick, and I was to fill in!

I had expected to have the morning to prepare my SIC entry and post it nicely before the deadline, but I only got home around 15:00. Once I got home, I immediately set to work making a salad (no cooking required, so it'll be the quickest option, eh?).

Traffic Light Salad

The myriad of textures and flavours make this one worthy of its flashy vibrant colours. It made for a healthy and refreshing super-light late lunch (most people would have it as a side, I'm sure)!

How to Make the Salad

Carefully place every other component in an artistically-appealing manner.

Looks really sophisticated and I'm sure it was tasty! :)

I love the way you prepared the guacamole! Holy guacamoleee! I bet this was delicious!

I am so happy that you finally managed to send your entry! Oh yes when time is against us, making a salad is the best option and what a lovely one you made!

You had me until Guacamole! Looks and sound delicious; without the Guacamole for me. LOL! And I love the name of the dish. Did you name it? Tip!
