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….
