My day started off well. I exercised and ate a good breakfast. By the time lunch arrived I was not so hungry so I decided to just "snack". That's always not a good idea. I started out good with a bowl of cherries then things got drastically worse from there. There were chips and two chocolate chip cookies also eaten after the madness was over. That's a big no-no for me. Well, I wasn't going to let the day get by without getting back on track so I decided a healthy dinner was in order. Salad. But I needed a substantial salad that would satisfy me and I wouldn't be tempted by those darn chocolate chip cookies again. So I raided the fridge and the pantry and this is what I came up with. I made some grilled chicken for my carnivore hubby, but he was truly happy with this heck of a chopped salad as he called it. I just finished dinner and I'm full and happy. Those darn cookies won't get the best of me... (I hope). : )
Ingredients:
2 bunches of romaine lettuce chopped
1/2 a large onion diced
2 carrots diced
1 cucumber chopped
1 bell pepper (or sweet peppers) diced
2 serrano chilies (seeded) and diced
1 (15oz) can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
handful of black olives chopped
1 cup of fresh broccoli chopped
1-2 eggs sliced
Dressing:
Light Ranch dressing (your favorite brand as much as you like to dress your salad)
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp of rice wine vinegar
1 tsp of sugar or splenda
Prepare all the veggies and toss into a bowl with the salad dressing. Keep chilled until serving.
Enjoy as a meal or as part of a meal.
