Greek Style Vegetarian Salad!!!! YUMMY!!!!

With Summer upon us I was ready to have a fresh, unique and healthy salad that didn't necessarily involve meat. This salad is very versatile and simple at the same time that has so many different layers of flavor. This is THE PERFECT option for our vegetarian or vegan clients and I have added additional protein options to this GEM of a salad!

Ingredients:

Protein:

• Edamame

Carb:

• Chickpeas (canned no salt added)

Fat:

• Avocado

• Cheese (shredded or sliced depending on your macros)

Veggies:

• Lettuce

• Tomato (in moderation)

• Bell Pepper

• Cucumbers

• Red Onion

• Parsley or Dill for seasoning

Dressing Options:

• Healthy Honey Mustard Dressing (previous blog post)

• Healthy Tzatziki (previous blog post)

• Natural Rice Vinegar

• Non Fat Plain Greek Yogurt

• Lemon Juice

Added Protein Options:

• Canned Tuna

• Salmon

• Chicken

• Turkey

• Tofu

The original recipe has protein source from your edamame, even if you are not vegetarian or vegan this can really give some added life to your meals. This is fresh and the preparation on this meal is so easy! NONE of the original recipe items require ANY preparation. Have your items ready in the fridge and you can just compile your salad the night before or in the morning before heading out for the day. Be sure to chat with your nutrition coach on how this AMAZING SALAD can be incorporated in your meal plan! I have given you several options and ideas on how to make this salad and customize it to what you like and of course on what you can have on your meal plan :)

ENJOY!!!!!
