[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 116499, member: 3907"] This is a staple I rely on in the hot weather. "Fridge Cleaner" Salad: 1) 2 heads of lettuce Usu. I use Red Leaf lettuce and/or Romaine, but any kind will do. Or you can add spinach 2) Finely chopped vegetables Whatever you have in the fridge I usually have carrots, broccoli, cauliflowers, bell peppers, corn, sometimes green peas. If you like them, finely chopped beets go well too. 3) Grated cheese Again, whatever you have in the fridge 4) Some sort of protein Shrimp, grilled chicken, turkey, even thinly sliced beef works 5) Optional ingredients Raisins, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, slivered almonds...whatever you have around. I usually use low-fat balsamic vinaigrette or roasted red pepper dressing with this. Something tangy and a bit tart, to balance the strong flavours of all the vegetables and the meat. I make a batch of this on the weekend, and parcel it into small containers to throw into lunch bags, or as a side dish with dinner. By changing the dressing flavour it makes a whole new salad. Also, because of all the stuff in it, it's very filling and stays with you for hours. Normally after a salad I'm hungry again in about 20 minutes, but because of all the protein (cheese, seeds or nuts, meat or seafood) this salad keeps me full for hours. Trinity [/QUOTE]
