Introduction

I love my veggies and need to feel full during the day. This crams a lot in. Great as a chopped salad as is, or as filling for a wrap. I love my veggies and need to feel full during the day. This crams a lot in. Great as a chopped salad as is, or as filling for a wrap.

Ingredients

.5 Cup Yellow Pepper, Chopped

1 Medium Red tomato, Chopped

3T Fresh Cilantro, chopped (can add more or less to taste)

1T Hummus

2T Salsa, (can adjust to taste)

1 Sm. Chicken Breast, baked/or sauteed and chopped

1/2C Mushroom Pieces, Cooked (lightly sauteed) OR 1/2 C Fresh if you prefer.

Directions

Early in the week I cook up several chicken breasts (from frozen, skinless/boneless).
I season them frozen, lay them on foil in a shallow pan. Bake them (loosely covered) at 375* for 40min. So I always have extras to use in dinners or the lunches I pack daily.
This is a lunch I make for myself, and eat as is. Sometimes altering the type or quantity of vegetables depending on what I have on hand. But I always have at least the tomato, and aim for another .5-1 C of chopped veggies.
All you have to do is chop and stir to combine.
The juices from the tomato, salsa, and the hummus combine to form a dressing. The hummus adds protein and a little fat; but gives a LOT of flavor and body.
I love it! I hope you will too!
