Introduction

A meal salad that I created using my own favorite flavors and textures. It has a lot of calories, but is high in protein and has natural sugars & carbs.

Ingredients

    - 2 cups Romaine Lettuce (cut into ribbons or chiffonade)
    - 1/2 cup Fresh broccoli (cut into small pieces)
    - 1/4 cup Cucumber (peeled and diced)
    - 4 - 6 Grapes (cut into halves)
    - 6 grape tomatoes (cut into halves)
    - 1/4 cup Shredded carrots
    - 1/4 cup Chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
    - Hard Boiled Egg (diced)
    - Boar's Head Genoa Salami (1 thick slice, diced)
    - Slice of Colby Jack Cheese (diced)
    - Small handful of Texas Toast Tortilla Strips *Can substitute sliced almonds or other nuts to keep the crunch.
    - Salt & Pepper to Taste (I use lots of pepper)
    - 1/8 cup Dried cranberries

Tips

You can make substitutions, like sliced almonds instead of the tortilla strips, or black beans instead of garbanzo beans, or even dried blueberries (or your favorite kind of fruit). I just like to cut everything into smaller pieces so that it mixes easily.


Directions

Layer ingredients in order of how they are listed, top with your favorite salad dressing, and then season with salt, lots of pepper, and lots of Italian Seasoning.
