After eating an entire plate of chocolate cake, a nice way to balance that out is by eating a healthy salad. Or another bite of cake. Whichever is easiest or more available.

This salad was loaded with fresh romain lettuce, cold quinoa, chick peas, red bell pepper, red onion, crunchy soy nuts, creamy avocado, salt, pepper and a drizzle of Tahini dressing.

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Blend all ingredients in a blender. Serve over salad or use as a dip for veggies. If dressing becomes too thin, add more Tahini.

Hello, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I started The Clean Eating Mama back in 2008 as a place to share my love of wholesome food and healthy living. Over the years, this little corner of the internet has grown and changed right along with me.

Here you’ll find simple, nourishing recipes, thoughts on clean eating and wellness, and little pieces of my everyday life. In many ways, this blog has become a personal diary of sorts. This is a place where I can share what I’m cooking, what I’m learning, what I’m loving, and where life happens to be taking me.

Healthy living doesn’t have to be perfect or complicated. For me, it’s about making choices that help us feel our best, enjoying good food, and continuing to learn and grow along the way.

So grab a cup of coffee or tea, stay awhile, and welcome to The Clean Eating Mama. Read full bio.
