Beef Up Your Salads
One lesson learned from the whole 'Summer of Salads' that wasn't, was that a salad can make a meal if done properly. And not just by tossing a whole head of lettuce in the bowl, but by planning you salad with what President Bush might call 'a little strategery.'
Think lots (variety) in your choices of fix'n as opposed to lots (quantity) of a few. A variety of colors, flavors, and textures will add up to a larger serving size without overcrowding your bowl.
And just like meat makes a hearty meal, it makes a satisfying salad too. A serving size (about the size of your fist) of roasted chicken, honey ham, or grilled shrimp will not disappoint. But if you want real bite in your salad bites, beef is the way to go. Slice up what's left after a steak night or those last few ribs left over after a BBQ, and toss it in your salad for lunch. Watch your cube mates salivate over the sight of a nice piece of beef and a serving of greens in the same bowl.
