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
