Mary Lou's Super Salad
Here's an idea... make every Wednesday evening meal a "super salad" day.
Instead of picking up fast food on the way home from work today, stop at a grocery store and purchase the simple fixings to make yourself a healthy salad.
Don't know any good salad recipes?
That's no excuse... here's one from Mary Lou:
Mary Lou's Super Salad
An old standby with a twist
1 bunch Romaine lettuce
Baby Spinach greens
1 Tbs grated imported Swiss cheese or cheese of choice or low-fat substitute
1 tsp lemon juice
1 large clove garlic, peeled
1 egg boiled for 60-seconds
Cayenne pepper to taste
2 Tbs olive oil
Salt to taste
Sprinkle salt on the bottom of a large wooden bowl and generously rub the bottom and sides with the garlic clove. Add the mustard, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper to taste. Stir with a wooden spoon until the salt dissolves. Rinse the lettuce or other greens well. Dry with a paper towel.
Tear the lettuce into bite-size pieces and place them in the bowl. Sprinkle with the grated cheese. Break the egg over the salad. Thoroughly mix by tossing gently until the ingredients are distributed uniformly.
Talk about healthy and good!
If you're really serious about your health, you'll start lunch and dinner day with a big salad. I'll write more about why you should do this in an upcoming blog.
Finally, if you have a healthy salad recipe you'd like to share, click on the comment button below and have at it.
See you tomorrow.

How much mustard? Mustard is mentioned in the instructions but it's not listed in the ingredients.
Mustard to taste! :)

I invented a SUPER Salad last night as I was hurrying off to a new years dinner:
Baby Spinach
Engliish Cuke
grated carrot
thinly sliced onion
choped tomato
grated cheese
Salads are the best, just wish I could find a good Salad dressing (as good as the mayo based ones) :)
You can add a grated (or juliened) zuchini to the salad.
Grapes & orange segments are also good in this salad.
