Several years ago I was an active member at Curves. I did their weight management system and had great success until I started eating normally. During this time, there have been a few great recipes and I have modified (to my personal tastes) this one:
No Pasta Salad
½ cup small cauliflower or broccoli florets
½ cup baby carrots, cut in half
2 tablespoons water
½ cup fresh snow peas, cut into pieces
2 cups cucumber, diced
1 cup garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen green peas
1 green onion, sliced thinly
6 oz water packed solid white albacore tuna, drained
2-3 ounces cheddar cheese, diced
½ cup Fat Free Zesty Italian Salad Dressing
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
Directions:
Combine cauliflower (or broccoli) florets, baby carrots, and water in a microwavable bowl. Cover tightly and microwave for 3- 5 minutes. Let stand for 3 minutes, covered. Drain completely, then pat vegetables dry. Combine with remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate overnight.
Make 4 (1 ½ cup) servings
(as prepared above provides the following per serving: Calories: 297, Fat: 9.9g, Saturated Fat: 4.8g, Protein: 25.5g, Carbohydrates: 27.4g, Fiber: 7.3g, Cholesterol: 42mg, Sodium: 836mg)
