Smoked Salmon and Avocado Tartine ~ Savory Simple ~ www.savorysimple.net

Remember my Foods from Chile Blogger Challenge post from a couple weeks ago? Well, I finally selected a recipe idea from your submissions and am sharing it today! This smoked salmon and avocado tartine uses 2 of the basket ingredients, smoked salmon and Chilean olive oil. Thanks to Jillian B for the excellent suggestion!

Quinoa Energy Bars ~ Savory Simple ~ www.savorysimple.net

Disclaimer: These quinoa energy bars are not healthy. The word quinoa seems to imply health and nutrition so I want to make sure that’s clear up front.
