Hello and welcome to the delicious salad post.
Here I intend to introduce you to my easy, weekly, salad eating frenzy.
Once a week I buy a 1 pound container of organic lettuce. I makes little baggies for each day and take these to work. Spill them out onto a reusable container from home (that I keep at work) and top the lettuce with any vegetables I have packed along.
Here are some examples:
2 large handfuls of organic lettuce (spring mix for example)
1 handful of cherry tomatoes (b/c they need no chopping and don't get soggy)
1 chopped cucumber
2-3 tbsp homemade dressing OR Goddess dressing (my other fav)
Here's another:
And another:
Just one more fav for the road:
Sometimes I put lots of stuff, sometimes I put nothing but lettuce and dressing. Either way, this method helps me to eat all my raw veggies for the day, AND still get a good filling meal in.
*Confession* I have eated 1/2 pound of salad in one sitting before. DOnt' judge.
Eating salad it SOOOOO easy.
Price breakdown:
1 lb. tub of organic lettuce: $5.99 divided by 5 days (workweek) = $1.20 per serving
1 bottle of dressing: $3.99/ 8 (usually lasts 8-9 days) = 50 cents per serving
WHO can say they spend under $2.00/day for a delicious nutricious lunch!?
Who can? ...You can, if you adopt these methods.
