My Foodie Call

Tonight’s meal was easy. Slightly time-consuming because of all of the prep involved with the chopping, but healthy and EASY.

Grab a knife and get chopping.

What did I include in our salad bar?

• Romaine and mixed greens blend
• Tofu marinated in low-sodium soy sauce
• Gardein Szechuan Beefless Strips (these are SOOO yummy!)
• Sunflower Seeds
• Shelled pistachios
• Roasted sweet potatoes
• Roasted asparagus
• Red onion
• Yellow pepper
• Roasted broccoli
• Raw cauliflower
• Cucumber
• Mushroom
• Lemon wedges
• Artichoke hearts
• Cherry tomatoes
• Black olives

Really I could have added a 1000 more things to this salad bar such as chopped apples, carrots,  shredded cheese…

I purposely left those things out because I have no problem getting my kids to eat that stuff. And I got sick of prepping, so no chopped carrots in this spread.

I did however choose a few non-traditional salad items like artichokes and roasted asparagus.

Here are a few pictures for a closer look….
