Made homemade tomato salsa: three big tomatoes, a red onion, a couple of garlic cloves, chilli, coriander etc. Is it bad to eat it alongside a lot of doritos and an avocado for dinner?

It would be balanced with a big pile of cheese I think Grin

Sounds like standard NYE grub.

I've made almost the same today! Except, my salsa has basil instead of coriander. Inspired idea of mine to serve my 4 friends fondue for NYE!

I've used up all the cheese, roasted the rest of the potatoes that we wouldn't get through for ages. Cubed the rest of the Xmas ham, grilled the 'posh' bread which is stale but perfectly fine with a bit of olive oil and balsamic on and made some sausage meat balls with the sausage meat that DH forgot to put in the turkey!

I often eat avocado and salad for dinner, of course it's ok! Better than a takeaway!

Yep, as a light snack that sounds fine. Wouldn't be enough for me for a main meal. I'd faint.

It sounds lovely but I'd be starving.

Just realised you said you're having take away-that sounds fab. I'm envious...

I would happily pig out on that for dinner add some cheese, soured cream and maybe some jalapenos, jazz up the avocado a bit with some lime juice, coriander... mmm mouth is starting to water just thinking about it lol

Roll it up in a tortilla wrap with some chicken, sour cream, jalapenos and cheese and you've got yourself a winner! (So long as I can eat 3 tortilla wraps at the very least).

Your garlic to tomato ratio scares me but the overall salsa/avocado/Doritos combo is more than acceptable - but do add cheese as per other comments. Stick in microwave & await nacho heaven. Might have the same myself, thanks for the inspiration Xmas Grin

Can you possibly explain to me why you felt the need to post a thread asking if it was ok to eat a perfectly ordinary snack before ordering a takeaway?

I'm baffled.

I don't feel I can go into 2017 worrying about how seriously reliant people have become on asking such weird questions.

If you ate enough Doritos it could class as dinner Wink

It is around here! Cheese, sour cream, dinner done.

This was one of my student meals- piles of melted cheese on it too, and made guacamole with lime, chilli and garlic. If I had leftover chilli con carne I'd top it with that too.

DH likes 3 cloves of garlic and a whole onion in his salsa... that's for about 400g tomatoes Shock

Dammit- we're making NYE sushi but now I want nachos!

Have made guac with lime, garlic, baby toms, cumin etc.! SO nice!! I'm having a glass of red and will order takeaway soon - I'm hoping the vegetables make it a health food? Wink

Yeah totally a health food.

Plus you're getting your antioxidants in the glass of red, so - win, win.
