I’m breaking the bread habit and I have decided to have a big salad every day…HUGE one! As long as you put healthy foods into your salad, leaving out meat, or at least limiting it to a small amount, using a variety of vegetables, seeds and nuts and use oil and vinegar and ground black pepper as your dressing it’s safe to make your salad large. Try to choose dark green leafy lettuces, kale and spinach for more nutrients.

In my salad for today I used romaine, pea shoots, leftover steamed broccoli, cucumber, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, ground flax seed, a pinch of cheddar, olive oil and apple cider vinegar. The seeds help fill you with protein and fiber.
