Great salad for lunch!

I have not been a salad person really since I had surgery because really, the only salads Ive "enjoyed" in my life have been drenched in fattening dressing, covered with cheese and croutons,  and for the most part, Id rather just not eat a salad if I cant have all the yummy stuff.

But this week - part of my plan for combatting stress was to munch on fresh veggies and a salad for lunch and I found a solution.

I had a nice mix of lettuce/spinach, added 2 oz of chicken, some broccoli and cauliflower and carrots, and instead of dressing, I used this soup called gazpacho (fresh, ripe veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers and green & yellow bell peppers and onions) from Trader Joes. It's perfect. It tastes sooo good I feel guilty for enjoying it. I used 1/2 cup (~40 cal) and it was perfect.

I also like chipotle salads with lots of salsa - thats the only other way I enjoy salad.

I just love this gazpacho soooo much I had to share.

Sweet! We just got a Trader Joe's here in Kansas City and I haven't checked it out yet but by the sounds of this and many other posts I've ready from people, I need to go!

It's doing better but still have a few issues, but there's no stomach problem in the world that would have forced me to stop eating my salad haha.

Wow gurl I gotta try that salad. Sounds yummalicous!!!
I also love the chipotle salads. I use their hot salsa as my dressing & have learned to use medium or hot salsa in place of dressing.
