Ingredients would be lots of leafy greens, plump tomatos, red peppers, carrots, peas, avocado, fresh herbs - whatever is fresh in the market today. Just make sure to have lots of variety. The more 'color' on your plate, the more tasty it will be!
For your protien, keep it simple and small: a hard-boiled egg, 2oz grilled tofu, maybe a piece of cheese grated on your salad.
One thought on salad dressings, don't bother with those you get at the store. Try squeezing the juice of lemon or lime, add some fresh squeezed orange and mash up 1/2 of an avocado and the smallest sprinkle of salt. Yes, avocados are high in calories, but they are a healthier option per calorie than a store bought version. Drizzle your concoction onto your fresh and colorful salad, and sit down and enjoy the freshness, the flavors and feel good about treating your body to the foods it really needs.
