Lunch salad
Just thought I’d share what I’ve been bringing for my lunch. I really wanted to concentrate on eating something healthy and easy to make. And usually when I find something I like, I eat it until I get completely sick of it. Why? Because it’s cheaper to buy for just one kind of lunch each week. :)
So this is my salad with organic mixed greens (bought in a big container), 1 serving of peppered smoked salmon (80 grams), onion, cucumber, red pepper, raisins and sunflower seeds. Nothing fancy, I just threw a bunch of things in there and top it off with a low fat balsamic vinaigrette.
I find by adding the smoked salmon, I’m not hungry until dinner. Which is awesome. :) Oh, and last week for dinner one night BF was making steak, so I made my salad and added a few thin slices of the meat into my salad. That was pretty good too! I don’t see myself getting sick of this salad for at least another 2 weeks. And then once I am, I can just switch up the kind of salad that I’m making.

I love this kind of salad too… some of my favorite add-ins are steak or chicken strips, grapes or strawberry slices, cheddar cubes and cashews. Without protein and fruit, I'd be hungry at 2 pm.
Yours looks great!
I eat salads for lunch everyday. You can throw all sorts of different stuff in them! I love it! The ladies at work always comment that I eat the same thing everyday but I am over it. It saves $$ that is for sure and it is so tasy!
I've also been adding a hardboiled or poached egg whites to my salads too. Protein, low calories and very filling.

Ohh good call on the hardboiled egg. I'm going to try that one day this week instead of my salmon.

I'm eating a heated up can of soup….i'm over it and i'm only half way finished…. maybe i'll try a salad tomorrow.
OMG I did the whole “canned soup” thing for lunch for months and months. It totally sucked and I was so bored after a while. Plus, I always ended up hungry again at like 3 or 4pm!
