Can you say lean, mean, veggie and protein? Power salads, courtesy of "Meatless Mondays"!! That's our new mantra at least 2 meals a week. Super lean, lightly dressed salads full of veg and protein... and we hope you like it!
Tonight, Stevie's salad started with romaine, shredded carrots, chopped pepper, cucumber, sliced lean turkey (not so meatless... what ev'), fat free crispy croutons, and his favorite ranch dressing, but only a tiny bit... maybe 2 tablespoons (to all THIS veggie and salad... pretty lean)!
To make it a "salad event", and not a boring salad dinner (yawn!!) we added some cheese tortellini and edemame, and it was spectacular! Truly a prom queen kinda salad!
We tossed it all in a big bowl (so we could get that small amount of dressing and flavor onto all the players in the salad) and then, served it in a regular bowl! You can add any of your favorite veggies, tasty sides, and minimal amounts of tasty dressing! We added croutons (fat free) for crunch, and we loved it! My power salad included avocado... because I believe avocados could save the world... one salad at a time (but everyone here doesn't agree with the super power of the avocado, so, it's all mine)!
The secret with power salads like this is to bulk up on healthy proteins and veggies, keep it clean (by adding small amounts of dressing for flavor, but tossing in a super big bowl to really distribute), and fresh (local) seasonal veggies!! Sometimes nuts and seeds can boost a power salad too.. so stay tuned for more super powers in our protein packed salads!
