Salad Bowls
Salad bowls are only limited by your imagination and the ingredients you have on hand.
I’ve used a base of cauliflower rice, then added other veggies, a protein, a fat and an ‘extra’.
“Free” dressings like lemon juice and balsamic add flavour without many calories. Season to taste, add chopped herbs if desired and enjoy!
Proteins
You can mix and match, i.e. 50g chicken + 1 hard boiled egg instead of 100g chicken or 2 eggs:
100g cooked chicken
100g cooked, lean meat
2 eggs
Small can of salmon/tuna/sardines
125g cottage cheese
100g lightly cooked Edamame beans
50g raw, fresh salmon, either cooked or sliced very thinly
Fats
¼ avocado
25g feta or other cheese
Veggies
Cauliflower rice
Tomato
Carrot sticks or ribbons
Cucumber chunks or ribbons
Capsicum sticks
Greens
Extras
1 Tbs hummus
1 Tbs olive or avocado oil
2 dsp seeds
1 Tbs nuts (salted peanuts/walnuts etc)
6 olives
2 Tbs cooked sweetcorn
