Winning Friends with Salad

A storm is thundering outside right now, but rain hasn’t started yet - this is my favorite type of weather - just before a storm!!  Any second now, the rain will crack and just soak everything. Yum! :)  For lunch today, I finally had enough energy to cook something - hooray!  I decided on a salad because we have tons of CSA greens to use up.  The basis of the salad was all sorts of greens: spinach, lettuce, braising mix; and for on top I mixed 10g walnuts, 1 oz feta, and my own mix of grilled turnips and radishes.  You can find the (very simple) directions for the salad on the ‘Salad Concoctions’ page.  So here was the finished product:

This salad was so filling I couldn’t finish it!  I ate all of the greens, walnuts, and feta, and left about 25% of the turnips and radishes.  It was really tasty though, there were a bunch of different tangy and sweet flavors in there that were really satisfying.  Lunch was 409 calories, 44g carbs, 24g fat, and 10g protein.

Even though I’m calling this lunch, I probably will only have a snack later on tonight.  After all, it’s almost 5 PM already!  P was talking about going to the movies, so maybe we’ll do that.  It would be nice to get out of the house!
