I love to eat salads for lunch. But the same old salad get boring. And then eating salads become a chore. I like to create a colorful salad that makes everyone look and comment.
So here is one of my favorite. I often serve this salad when I have guest (it looks impressive )!
This recipe uses two negative calorie foods
Lettuce
apples
Lemons
And I love it!!!!
Here is what you need
10-12oz of lettuce which is the size of most salad bags
1/2 cup of chopped/sliced pecans or walnuts
2 apples
1/2 cup or 4 oz crumbled feta
1 tsp honey or splenda
1/4 cup balsamic
1/4 cup EVOO or OO
1 tsp mustard (Dijon is best)
the juice of 1 lemon or 2 tbsp of lemon juice
1 tsp mustard (Dijon is best)
the juice of 1 lemon or 2 tbsp of lemon juice
Here is what you do
- Open a bag of lettuce and put into a large salad bowl
- Cut apples into either slices or cubes depending on prefer- leave the skin on because it has tons of vitamins and looks pretty. Make sure to remove the seeds.
- Coat the cut apples with the lemon juice (this will stop them from turning brown)
- Top salad with nuts, feta, and cut apples.
- In a salad dressing container, cocktail shaker or protein shake bottle (basically you need something that will close tight and you can shake without spilling) pour in Oil, Vinegar, mustard and sweetner.
- SHAKE until mixed
- Then either dress salad or pour into a pretty gravy boat or container
- Lastly, serve then eat!!!!
Tips
- If you are short on time, you can get the pre-cut apples in the refrigeration selection of the produce section and pick up a balsamic dressing. I really like the brand Marie's. this will save you two steps
- If you use two different color apples, the salad will look extra pretty.
- Leftovers make great lunch!
- This also can be the main course if you add chicken.
