My Salad Eating Life

My healthy eating plan includes a lot of salad. Eating leafy greens before a meal begins the digestion process much faster. Each meal needs to be made up of fat, protein, and fibre (veggies) so I don't just eat plain garden or Greek salads but I can have whatever (fatty) salad I want.

My favorite has mixed greens, tomatoes chopped and covered with lime juice and herbs, avocado, marinated goats feta (in lots of olive oil, garlic powder, Italian herbs, and mixed herbs), and macadamia nuts. I am supposed to include protein in each meal, so when I get lazy, I just add some sliced beef schnitzel which I marinated the night before.

My life pretty much revolves around salad at the moment. I buy it. Cut it up. Marinate it. Eat it. I never knew salad took so much time...

It's been two weeks since I left the retreat, and I'm starting to get stuck for new ideas for salad. My project this week is try some new styles, and add some new favorites to my collection...
