help! It's my turn to cook the dinner tonight and I'm off to the shops now with no idea what to make!
We tend to have a salad with all our meals rather than rice/pasta, so something that goes with salad ideally!
any ideas? Want to keep it quite low carbs too as it's my 21st birthday next week and I know the diet will go out the window then,so cramming in a good week beforehand!! :)
thanks! :)

    Make a quick "Greek" salad and pair it with any lean meat of choice. Cucumbers, fresh basil, tomatoes ( I use cherry tomatoes). Mix a bit of olive oil, salt, apple cider vinegar to taste, then mix with the rest. Top with a bit of feta cheese- yum.

    I have also cooked a bit of asparagus, red peppers, ginger and garlic. Sauté with a bit of olive or coconut oil with frozen shrimp until it is still crunchy, then add some fresh spinach and cook while stirring for 30 seconds or so. I don't like my spinach all gross green and wilted. Enjoy dinner!

    We have a HUGE family dinner every sunday and my boyfriend came up with the BEST meal for my birthday a few weeks ago. It was just a big salad bar!

    lettuce in a big bowl,
    sliced grilled: steak, chicken, and shrimp,
    raw sliced: peppers, strawberries, green beans, cucumbers (pick a few toppings that are out of the ordinary)
    steamed then chilled and sliced: asparagus
    crumbled goat cheese
    a few salad dressings

    pita and italian bread on the side if you choose
