A Great Lunch
This pregnancy, like Natalya’s I have been craving salad. I buy a bog box of organic greens at Costco, and it lasts two weeks, until my next costco trip. Because of this, I have started getting a little creative on my salads, and they have turned out so good! Here are some, just in case you want to try! (And they are actually healthy, so if you are looking to eat healthier, these would be great!)
Taco Salad
Lay salad greens in the bottom of a bowl
Layer with crushed tortilla chips,
a 1/4 cup drained and rinsed black beans
salsa
(you can add ranch, sour cream or cheese if you want, but really it is so yummy without it!)
Raspberry Walnut Salad
Salad greens
toasted or untoasted walnut gems
1/4 cup feta or blue cheese
Raspberry walnut vinaigrette
And this is what I had today, and it was so good
Greek Wrap
Tortilla, Pita, or other wrap
Layer with salad greens
feta cheese
chopped cucumber
chopped tomatoes
sour cream or plain yogurt
chopped olives and a little bit of the olive juice
salt and pepper
some kind of meat (I used cut up chicken nuggets, you could use grilled chicken, or for real greekness, lamb)
wrap it up and eat! (I also added some ranch on the top, but I don’t think it needed it)
