Today's salad was delicious, but looking at the numbers, could have been better nutritionally.
Contains:
100g romaine lettuce raw
salmon, wild, moist heat 75g (it was 60g)
cheese stick
fresh asparagus raw 50g
red pepper raw 50g
cucumber 50g
sugar snap peas 15g
red onion raw 25g
garbanzo beans fm 50g
sesame sticks FM 10g (15 pieces)
salsa 60g
raw celery 50g
DRESSING: newmans balsamic lite 30g
448 calories, 19g fat, 30g carbs, 34g protein
Evaluation:
I was concerned I wouldn't get enough protein to hold me all afternoon, so I added a string cheese. That wasn't necessary, especially since we're having beef for dinner! That bumped up the calories and fat, which is why I don't bother putting cheese in my salad. What a waste, it just gets chewed up with the other ingredients and not properly enjoyed. I prefer to give my cheese the place of honor it deserves, front and center, warm and melty over a tortilla or rice cake!
