The easiest and quickest way to put a healthy meal on the table is to start with a good salad. Pictured here is a favorite meal of our family. Here are the ingredients:
Start with the salad recipe given last month on this column
On top of the salad you can add:
canned garbanzo beans rinsed under cold water and drained
canned black beans rinsed and drained
shredded cheese of your choice
grape tomatoes
cauliflower florets (optional)
broccoli florets (optional)
chicken breasts, grilled or baked and cut into strips
black olives (optional)
Add a few shredded carrots or baby carrots for color.
Top with the dressing of your choice.
This one plate meal has everything in it but carbs! It is very satisfying and good for you.
Here is our favorite dressing recipe that I promised last month.
Sheryl's Garlic/Olive Oil Dressing
4 tablespoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons water
1 1/4 tsp. Italian herbs
1 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp salt
2 large garlic cloves crushed
Mix for 15-20 seconds on medium high in a blender. Pour into a dispenser of your choice and enjoy.
