My Sexy Summer Salmon Avocado Zucchini Anchovy Salad!

Do you ever go to a restaurant and get annoyed when someone orders a salad, but he/she prefers the dressing on the side? Well... I'm one of those annoying people! Don't get me wrong... I used to love dressing on my salad, the more the better!  But that all changed once I got married.  My husband used to order his salad without any dressing, and I used to think he was nuts!  I thought, how could anyone possibly have a salad with no dressing! 
I would like to share with you a very simple Salmon Salad recipe with you that is insanely easy to make. I made it for dinner tonight, in fact.  It was absolutely delicious, and I cannot wait to make it again!
Easy salmon avocado anchovy zucchini salad recipe
Easy Salmon, Avocado, Anchovy, Zucchini Salad
      Here are the ingredients:
  • 1 bag of mixed greens of your choice
  • 1 fillet of salmon (my fish market had fresh salmon burgers today, so I used that instead)
  • 1 avocado, cubed
  • 1 can of anchovies in olive oil
  • 1 zucchini, sliced 
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste 
  1. Pan fry the salmon in a little bit of olive oil until brown and cooked, then cut into chunks.
  2. Grill or pan fry the zucchini until brown and tender.
  3. Assemble the salad greens in a big bowl.
  4. Add the salmon, zucchini, avocado and anchovies.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil.
  6. Season with salt and pepper.
And that's it!  I hope you enjoy this salad as much as I do.  Let me know what you think, and please feel free to comment with variations or suggestions!  Happy eating!  ~Janice

Dior Amber Diamond - Instantly Liven Up Your Face & Make It Glow!

Let me first just say that I am obsessed with Dior Amber Diamond!  I never understood highlighting, or why people even did it.  But now I get it!  It's purpose is to bring light to certain areas of the face, and make those parts stand out more and add some dimension.  I like to brush it lightly above my cheekbones, all along the brow bone, down the bridge of my nose and on my cupid's bow.

Dior Amber Diamond - Beautiful, bronzy glow!
Dior Amber Diamond is a gorgeous compact consisting of five shades ranging from an off-white colour to a deep copper tan shade.  You can use each colour individually, or sweep your brush along all five and create a beautiful bronze shimmering glow (which is what I usually do).  Let me emphasize that it is shimmery, not glittery.  There are no large chunks of glitter whatsoever.  The powder is so finely milled and silky smooth... it feels like pure luxury when you put it on.  It also comes in a shade called Pink Diamond, which is more cool toned and pink in colour, but I find the warm golden Amber Diamond is more of a fit for my NC-35 Asian complexion.  I like to use my MAC 109 brush to apply to the areas mentioned above, or you can also use the MAC 129 brush to apply a light dusting to your whole face and neck to make it glow and look so beautiful and healthy!  ~Janice
