Lunch
One thing I always regret at the end of summer is the lack of salads I’ve eaten. I love salads. I just don’t eat them. I buy the greens and my husband eats the greens sans anything else besides oil and balsamic vinegar. I want/need my salads to be more then just oil and vinegar. I need veggies, nuts, proteins, etc. I want it to be a full meal. So I made myself one today.
This is a 3 Greens Caesar Salad. I have mixed baby greens, raw kale and romaine lettuce in there. For the veggies I shredded 1/2 a carrot, snapped some string beans in half, sliced some scallions and quartered a small tomato. Other additions included capers and kalamata olives. I mixed it all together with a quickly thrown together Caesar type of dressing. Eating a salad with a mayo based dressing isn’t the healthiest option but I had a terrible day and evening yesterday with a bad allergy attack and a migraine. I needed the creamy comfort!
If I had more forethought into making this salad I would have loved to have added homemade tempeh croutons to it as well as some slightly toasted sunflower seeds. I’m looking forward to making this salad again with other options. I’m eating it as I’m typing this post out and it’s fabulous!
See you later with my final post of the day!
