Can you see me" I'm clawing my way through the sugar, gluten and fat consumed over the past two weeks. I'm coming up for air, but it's slow going folks. It's like driving a tank through the soupiest fog ever, and barely barely seeing a light at the end of the road.
This salad is the light.
(That sounds like something from Deepak Chopra. Scratch that.)
We made a HUGE batch of this salad on New Year's Day and kept the dressing on the side. The intent was to have enough to eat all week long, and it has served us well so far. If you're like us, just having the healthy option ready and available is 99% of the battle. Having this in the fridge makes it easy to...well, find the light (heh heh).
We cut out meat for this week, so used lots of black beans for the protein. If you're eating meat, this is excellent with grilled chicken, pork or steak.
