Hi Everyone! Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. It was pretty cold in New York so I spent most of my time catching up on my TV shows, my book (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) and finally saw Kick Ass. I was pretty tired tonight so after work I did a light work out and went straight home to put together a fantastic salad. I went to my favorite grocery store, Trader Joe's last week so I had lots of goodies to choose from. Here are some ingredients that go great together for a delectable and healthy salad.
1. Take one quarter bag of mixed greens and pour into a bowl (you can use as much lettuce as you want)
2. One handful of peeled edamame beans (you can buy these at Trader Joe's right by the produce)
3. A handful of cut mushrooms
4. About 8 cherry tomatoes
5. Two spoonfuls of Eggplant Capanara (you can find this by the tomato sauce at Trader Joe's, it adds a great kick to the salad)
6. Sliced chicken breast OR turkey meatballs
7. Feta Cheese crumbles (I buy the fat free feta cheese from Trader Joe's)
8. Drizzle some Annie's Ginger Dressing
9. One scoop of hummus to top it off (you can even add a grape leaf, I love adding those in my salads)
All these ingredients mix together to create my favorite Monday salad. Monday's are my nights to relax and watch Gossip Girl so I always make sure to create an easy and filling dinner. I usually top the night off with an Apple dipped in some Better N Peanut Butter. Let me know what you think of these ingredients and if you tried to re create the salad! I have to go get ready for the Lakers game!!
