During the month of June I'm only eating salads for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This was a challenge handed down by L&D and I accepted because they made no rule against how much salad dressing I could use.
The rules are:
Five vegetables per salad.
Vegetable-y fruits count as vegetables.
Different kinds of lettuce don't count as different vegetables but different greens do.
The salad needs to be the main sustenance of the meal. No salads with a side of T-bone.
Today's lunch salad is:
Romaine lettuce
Spinach
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Corn
Croutons
A couple of pieces of chicken
Ranch dressing
Hold on, let me eat it...
It was delicious. I discovered you can't put the croutons in until just before eating it. The corn just kind of fell to the bottom. And I forgot to bring a fork to work. But it was enjoyable. I think the chicken saved it from being boring. I'm not going to blog every salad but a lot of them are going to be this.
I'm not doing this to lose weight but for the record today I weigh 221.
yay for salad month!
ReplyDeleteCan you put meat in your salad like chicken? I have a recipe for hot dog salad
ReplyDeleteOh duh I see today's salad had chicken in it
ReplyDeleteheck yeah! It's going to be delicious. Don't eat too much chicken and ranch, that'd be too delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love salads, but this seems like a terrible plan. How did this challenge arise? Was this ~Bananas!'s idea?
ReplyDeleteI just remembered! I DID say something about dressing...only oil and vinegar! Anything different and this challenge is unmet!
ReplyDeletebeewee - Not only can I have meat, my dinner salad had steak on it.
ReplyDeleteemily - I think it was lmp123's idea. Why is it a terrible plan? Salads are just: Here, I put my whole meal in one bowl.
lmp123 - Marissa and I don't remember that but fine. Dinner met that criteria.
It will probably be good for you and all, it just doesn't leave a lot of room for Doritos. Can you put Doritos on a salad?
ReplyDeleteYou can put Doritos on a salad. I bet that would be pretty good. They have those tortilla strips on salads. Besides, only meals have to be salad, I can still snack on Doritos at BMN.
