The star of my lunch today was definitely this BEAUTIFUL salad:
A lot of it was just leftovers, but the combo of flavors (and nutrients, no less!) was killer.
a few cups spinach
1/2 a red pepper
1/4 of a cob leftover corn from last night
a few pieces red onion
1/2 tablespoon or so roasted squash seeds
olive oil, red wine vin, and lemon juice
I’m so impressed with how many colors I got in one salad. It makes it so much more beauteous AND so much more nutritious! Score.
To round out the meal:
Yogurt+ open faced tuna sammie (tossed the tuna with a little minced red onion, salt and pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice and called it tuna salad)
Some fun things!
This came in my mail today:
The contents:
I am such a ridiculous plant eater that I definitely get enough fiber already, but I just like the taste of the Fiber One stuff that I’ve tried (I’ve had that cereal before and it’s DELISH! I just am irked that the sample is so tiny- probably like 1/2 to 2/3 of a cup, so it will be a SUPPLEMENT to a meal/snack, rather than the star).
Finally, I had a dessert epiphany last night that’s too good not to share:
Melted dark chocolate+ dried apricot= yessssssssssssssss.

I like the idea of using left over corn on a salad. So pretty.
Ooh I like that salad. I think some chick peas would be really nice in there too : ]
Great looking salad! I just made one myself that looks similar, and you're right about using up leftovers that way.
It IS a beautiful salad! I need some fiber one coupons - nice!

Oh, it's gorgeous! All the colors...it sounds delicious :D
how fortunate that your leftovers combined to form such a tasty salad! i doubt the things lingering in my fridge would blend so nicely. :) also, apricot and dark chocolate? i've never had the combo, but i will now!
mmmm... apricot and chocolate... inspired :D
Cool treats from Fiber One!
Man, I eat dried apricots like candy. I think I have a problem. Last night at my friend Summer's house, she had some out on the counter and I ate a few and made her hide them hahahhaa.
