Yummy Lunch (or dinner) Salad

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone -

I made this for lunch yesterday, and it was so good and so filling, I just had to share it.

MEDITERRANEAN SALAD (Good for all Phases)

2 cups mixed greens (I used romaine and green leaf, but use whatever you like)

Diced cucumber (one kirby, or 1/2 large)

Halved grape tomatoes (about 5)

1 oz. crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese

2 Tbsp. Hoummus (I like the Cedars brand of Lemon Hoummos, or Whole Foods roasted red pepper variety)

Green and black olives

Oregano

Sugar Free Olive oil-based Vinaigrette

Arrange the greens, tomatoes and cucumber on a plate, top with olives and feta, place a scoop of the hoummus in the center, sprinkle with oregano, and drizzle the whole thing with the vinaigrette (you don't need a lot). Enjoy! This kept me full and kept my cravings at bay all afternoon.

If you're on phases 2 or 3, warm up a whole wheat pita and use it to scoop up your salad -- and you'll never believe you're dieting.

Nikki
