Is you salad boring?
here's my recipe for a great satisying salad I eat almost every day.
Ahead of time, boil several boneless skinless chicken breasts, chop and put in a ziplock bag in the freezer.
The salad:
Chop up romaine or green leafy lettuce, or use the bagged Spring mix if you like it.
heap in a bowl, top with two tbsp of slivered almonds, some shredded carrots, sliced mushrooms and/ or 1/4 chopped apple.
Top with about 1/4 cup of the chicken.
Now your dressing. Use fat free, or use a small amout of your favorite dressing, (READ the LABEL!!), afer you have splashed the salad with red wine vinegar.
You'll be full, and still withing the 15 gram fat limit.
For variety, use tuna or low fat cottage cheese to replace the chicken. Adjust the salad dressing to compensate for the fat in the tuna.
It's a numbers game...add up the fat grams of your ingredients, and be creative.
You will feel so good when you eat this salad for lunch. No more afternoon sluggishnenss from overeating carbs and fats!
