Asian Salads

Food Category: Bum Lovin', High-5
Difficulty: Super Easy

Asian Salads

The Salad Part:
  • mixed salad greens
  • spinach
  • pineapple (fresh or canned)
  • mandarin oranges
  • cucumbers
  • shredded carrots
  • sliced green onions
  • sugar snap peas
  • shredded cabbage
  • tri-color bell peppers
The Protein Part:
  • tuna, I highly recommend Starkist Tuna Creations Sweet & Spicy
  • or seasoned chicken breast
The Good Stuff:
  • sprinkle of cashews
  • sprinkle of sesame seeds
  • sprinkle of ride noodles
  • Newman's Own Sesame Ginger Low Fat Dressing

And, because you are being so darn good for dinner, how about some dessert?

Peaches & Cream

  • slice/wedge two fresh peaches
  • add to heated butter & brown sugar (as little as possible) in a non-stick skillet
  • cook until yummy
  • add splash or two of brandy or amaretto & cook alcohol down
  • sprinkle with cinnamon
  • serve warm over low fat vanilla ice cream or yogurt

SuperFood Note: spinach, red/yellow peppers, tuna & yogurt (even the frozen kind, if it has live cultures) are all SuperFoods that help fight again cancers & heart disease

Leftover potential: leftover salads are totally yuck & leftover dessert? what's that?
