Lettuce is back in stock, which means Hugh Jass salads are back on the lunch menu!!
This one was an awesome combination of:
- Green leaf lettuce
- Olive oil, salt, vinegar
- Heirloom tomato
- Red bell pepper
- Leftover tofu cubes
- Leftover eggplant
- 1/4 an avocado
- Caromont Farm Herby Goat Cheese
- A cubed slice of Cville Crunch
Only thing missing was some fruit, which I covered at breakfast
As much as I love coconut water, I do not really like it with ice like this. After a hot walk I mixed some with lemonade and it was a bit too milky for my taste. But with unbeatable hydration!
Matt is home and we’re working on a project together!
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
I keep trying coconut waters but I just don’t seem to like any of them. I think it’s too much of an in between milk and water for me!
Annette @FitnessPerks says
Mmmmm I love big salads with lots of flavor!
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
Yay for working on a project together. Salad looks wonderful.
I am unfortunately not a big fan of coconut water. Now coconut milk… that’s different. And dis… has too much fat. *sigh* 😉
Melissa @ HerGreenLife says
Great salad. After a pause when our spring lettuce crop stopped producing, our second round of lettuce and arugula is ready for eating. The pauses make you appreciate it more, and it can be good to have a break, too.

Jamba Juice here in Chicago (not sure if you have them in Cville) have coconut water drinks. I like the watermelon one…amazing! But on a side note, I hate coconut shavings, etc. Odd. I like the taste but I guess not the consistency of coconut in the raw.
Brie @ Coxswain Dilemma says
I’m also not a big fan of coconut water with ice! But man, I do love that stuff. Such an interesting texture.
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Coconut water is one of those things that I tried so hard to like a while ago, but I got a bottle from a brand that has a really thick coconut water, and I absolutely hated it (as in, couldn’t finish half of it). However, I gave it another chance recently and picked up ONE (as in the brand, not the number) and it is so good! I love mixing it with homemade lemonade post-workout to make sure I’m super rehydrated. Love the looks of your Hugh Jass salad!! 🙂
MommyPage says
Yum!! Those tofu cubes look delicious. Your salad has such a great variety of foods! 🙂
Julia @ Girl vs. Food says
The past few days up here in Boston have been wicked hot and so Hugh Jass salads are the only thing that sound good to me for lunch and dinner. Besides, with all of the beautiful produce this time of year, salads are the best way to use up lots of goodies all at once! Lovessss it!
Rachel says
salad looks great 🙂
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Love the last photo!
Michelle (Peachy Palate) says
That is like my dream salad! Your so good at throwing things together and making them look and sound incredible!
Jen@HealthyFoodandFamily says
I have tried a bunch of different brands of coconut water, most tasted like cough syrup and then I found SOBE coconut waters, so freaking delicious!
Michelle @ A Healthy Mrs says
Oooooh, project! Can’t wait to hear about it! 🙂
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
I love huge jass salad!!! Perfect lunch!
Katherine says
You should try the new “Unheated raw coconut water” from Harmless Harvest at Whole Foods. Words can not describe how delicious this coconut water is! I crave it almost everyday now.. leagues better than any other coconut water I’ve tried!
Megan @ Megan's Munchies says
What a fabulous salad!!! Good luck with the project!
beth says
I’m wondering if you’d be willing to do a post on your RD perspective on the Paleo diet with all the craze I am seeing?
KathEats says
Beth, I wrote about it in the comments in this post: https://www.katheats.com/chilled-pizza-for-one
Hope that works

I stopped in Charlottesville last week on a road trip and was lucky enough to try some Cville Crunch that my hostess had bought from you! We paired it with some fabulous cheese from Feast. It was delicious. I wish we had been able to stop by the store, I definitely will next time we’re there! It was great being back in that city.
KathEats says
Oh wonderful! Glad you liked it 🙂
Sarah @ Learning to Feed Yourself says
That salad looks amazing! What do you do with the rest of your avocado when you only eat a quarter of it? I feel like they get brown right away.
KathEats says
Put it in the fridge with the pit – a little brown won’t hurt you it’s just not pretty. You can just scrape off the outer layer too
Kristi says
I cover the remaining half with pit in a clear plastic wrap then put it in the fridge – no brown for at least a couple days!
KathEats says
Mine is in a tupperware – or in plastic too
Jennifer says
I just can’t get past the taste of Coconut water- it tastes too much like, ahem, something else.
Angel7 says
That salad looks great! At first glance, I thought that was bleu cheese on your salad.

Jessica @ New Girl, New City says
Holy yum that salad looks delicious! I wish I could grow plants and have fresh vegetables.
Bec says
What kind of vinegar do you use in your salads?
KathEats says
an aged balsamic
Cait's Plate says
I have yet to try coconut water…I really need to pick one up and just give it a go!
MJ Keller says
You have literally the most gorgeous pictures. That salad looks incredible – love baked tofu cubes. I’d have those over meat any day!

Ellen @ Wannabe Health Nut says
This salad looks unreal! I definitely need to switch up my go-to spinach+ cherry tomato + boiled egg + cucumber + almonds combo!
Lexi @ You, Me, & A World to See says
I love chunks of bread on salad! Deconstructed sammich action 🙂
Sara lago says
Is there a way to change cheese?
