Today is REALLY hot! I thought about eating a salad for lunch, but am pretty sure I'd have watched it melt before my eyes as I took my first bite.
So... there's a bunch of tomatoes on my shelf, cilantro in my fridge, and a basket full of fresh limes on my counter. My hungry creative juices started to flow, and I came up with a really yummy low-cal lunch idea. It was sooooo good, that I just had to share! Mind you... I did not measure everything out specifically, but you can see for yourself, it's so healthy... you just don't have to.
