    ok, so don't be grossed out, 1 tsp of mayo, and mustard, 1/4 of dates, on a bed of romaine mixture, with a small amount of balsamic dressing, the dates are soft and crunchy and if I need some more crunch or proteins I add some slivered almonds...

    I got this one from the Power 90 meal guide. I didn't think I'd like it (no mayo) but it's very tasty. One of the small cans of tuna that come in a three-pack, drained add a little olive oil, yellow mustard, diced red onion, one hard boiled egg white and about a teaspoon of capers. Mix it up and put on some toasted whole grain wheat with a slice of lettuce (I used Boston) and voila! Yum.
