There's got to be an easier salad ... right?

arewethereyet

when I was being really good, I would chop up a bunch of stuff on Sunday

Grill 4 chicken breasts with different seasonings on my George Forman (but a pan, broiler or grill works too!)
I would put lemon pepper on one, spicy blackened on on, and what ever on the other two
and/or
grilled salmon filets
and/or
shrimp

I would chop up the meats and have them in individual bags or cups for easy use

I always had 2 bags of lettuce...........baby spring and romaine (iceberg is useless to me)

Then I would chop up
onions
peppers both green and red and yellow
grape tomatos halved
zuchini
yellow squash
broccoli
cauliflower

Cheeses:
feta, shredded 2%cheddar, goat, bluecheese, smokey gouda

Nuts:
walnuts, pistachios, almonds

With all this in place I had no excuse but to throw together a great salad. Also I kept wraps for those days I wanted to pick UP my salad :laugh:

I have to do this today as I promised myself 1 week clean eating, which includes a wonderful salad each and every day!!

I tried a new one last night which was gorgeous:

250g cherry tomatoes
1/2 a chopped cucumber
2 diced red peppers
1 can of drained kidney beans
1 can of drained sweetcorn
4 chopped spring onions

for dressing:

1 tsp. tabasco sauce
4 tbs. red wine vinegar
1 crushed garlic clove
1/2 tsp. worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. ground cumin

it makes four servings, 170 calories each. I ate mine with grilled mackerel and sweet potato mash, was lovely. I'm going to eat the rest tonight with grilled chicken.

:laugh: I read that as 250 cherry tomatoes!! Whew, that would give anyone a rash!

This sounds like a really yummy dinner. Thanks for posting

I also love salad made up of cherry tomatoes, avocado, chick peas, cucumber, fresh basil, red onion, and chopped garlic.
