Today's Salad-Hungry

Today's salad is really big. It is 3pm and all I've had is a bowl of cereal this morning. The day just got away from me and now I'm really hungry. I was not wanting to chop onions, celery and red pepper, but now there's some ready for tomorrow. I just started tossing ingredients on top of the romaine and since there's a lot in the frig, I had many choices! This is what I made today:

Contains:
100g romaine
75g chicken breast
100g cucumber
10 pieces mini sesame sticks
50g red pepper
25g red onion
2T pinto beans
50g celery
50g fresh corn cut from cob
alfalfa sprouts
15g olive oil
15g balsamic
salt & pepper

Evaluation:
Whoah, too much fat! Looking at the spreadsheet, I can see that the fat is coming from the olive oil. Happy about protein today, would like to reduce carbs...carbs are coming from the corn and pinto beans. I love beans in my salad! The corn had a nice texture, maybe just don't use them together in the same salad. Yikes, I thought olive oil & balsamic would be a better option than what I have in the frig, but I would have been WAY better off with one of the Newman's dressings because the fat is 4-6g! Live and learn, now I know I won't do this combo for dressing again. My friend Carole let me taste the Newman's Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette today which was way more tasty than the Lite Italian. I'll be getting a bottle of that. I can use the Lite Italian as a marinade for chicken breasts to get rid of it. The olive oil is bumping the calories, as well...just not worth it to me! I'd like to find three dressings I can alternate...maybe the ginger sesame, balsamic vinaigrette and one another.
