Salad
Originally uploaded by jen-draws

What you are looking at is my dinner. It contains what was left of the salad greens in the fridge:

• about 1.5c of spring mix+romain mix+spinach,
• 1 avocado,
• .5 an apple and
• a handful of blueberries.

What I did was slice up the avocado, and then in my usual fashion, grind a whole lotta black pepper onto it and throw on a little salt. I like to do this and toss the salad around before adding the fruits largely because I could never really get into the whole salting-your-apple thing that my mom used to do. I then cut and added the half an apple (because apples you get these days in supermarkets are humongous and it would not have all fit in my little container), and a scant handful of blueberries. I then splashed on a bit of balsamic vinegar, and voila, salad. This isn't a terribly interesting recipe, but it's fast (about 10 minutes) and easy (so easy) for a healthy (very healthy, low cal, high flavour, medium filling) lunch-ish type meal.

This almost offsets that my breakfast / lunch (did not have time for both prior to work!) consisted of 4 bean and cheese taquitos from Trader Joe's (I know how to actually make these from scratch, might be a follow-up post in a couple days), 4 chik'n quorn nuggets and two mini tomatoes (baked as I still have my raw tomato aversion in full swing); all eaten with salsa.
