Meanwhile, here is my current dinner-salad recipe and it is SO GOOD, seriously (multiply the recipe x how many people need to be fed)
1 6-8 oz. salmon filet, cooked with lemon pepper and salt and flaked into chunks / for those who don't like fish, one 6-8 oz steak, browned and cut into thin slices
1 small head baby Romaine lettuce, cut into small chunks
1 hard boiled egg, salted, peppered, and quartered (not drawn and quartered, thankfully, just quartered, unless you have a more sophisticated method for drawing it than I do)
A few TB canned garbanzo beans, rinsed
A few tsp sunflower seeds
About 6 kalamata or purple olives, crumbled
Crumbled bacon (or fake bacos, depending on your plan)
1 oz grated sharp cheddar
1/2 cup frozen peas, rinsed for a few minutes in warm water so they are just starting to thaw
To put it together the optimal way, you would take the lettuce and garbanzos, ONLY, into a big bowl and shake them all around with a generous blob of your favorite italian vinaigrette dressing. Then you pile everything else on top. There is something about this mix that really Works. And I am not hungry afterward at all for a long time.
P.S. this is about a thousand calorie salad if you go with a full 8 oz salmon and use a normal viniagrette. However, I found today while eating grilled salmon that it's probably more like a 4 oz chunk, because 8 oz piece is huge! That's good news for salmon plans generally. I seldom buy salmon so other pink fish works fine too - mahi mahi is my go-to. When trying to eat 1500 Cal/day or less, it is great to have a very filling thing for your midday.Statistics: Posted by Phoebe — Tue Jun 19, 2018 2:54 pm
