John's Fresh Veggie and Lime Salad
- Minutes to Prepare:
- Number of Servings: 1
Ingredients
4 cups fresh lettuce (romain, red leaf, baby spinach, etc)raw brocolli - about 1 cup florettsFresh Tomatoe, diced fresh red/yellow/orange pepper, 1/2 sliced thinfresh sliced mushrooms - large handful1 grilled chicken breast (I grill several pounds each Sunday and use all week!!)any other raw veggies to your delight (onions, snap peas, cucs, corn, black beans, etc)2 tbs croutons (optional but worth it for the satisfying crunch)liberal shakes of Mrs. Dash (I like the original best)Juice and pulp from 1/2 fresh lime1 heaping TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)liberal shakes of ground peppera little garlic salt (optional)
chop/tear lettuce, thinly slice chicken and veggies - add spices, EVOO and the juice and pulp from 1/2 fresh lime and toss all in a large bowl.
This is a lot of salad for one serving but it fills me up with low calories/carbs - or you can eat half now and half later to go for the "more smaller meals" concept...
The lime juice, EVOO, ground pepper and Mrs. Dash is a refreshing, low cal alternative to bottled low cal dressings - after squeesing and pulping I throw the lime rind into my ice water for some extra flavor.
