Today's lunch: Ginger-topped Chef Salad again... with a twist!

Today's lunch:Iceburg & Green Leaf lettuces, baby spinach, a few sliced mushrooms (I rinse ALL veggies), half bag of pre-cooked Teriyaki chicken strips chopped, half an avocado chopped, half a tomato chopped, half a cucumber seeded and chopped. Topped with Ginger Dressing. YUM!(photo is pre-dressing)

It's what's for Lunch :) Great salad...

Haven't been posting Dinners because it's been repeats...
Today's lunch, however, is so good :)
I worked from 6:45am to 12 and was really craving a great salad ...

small handfuls each of lettuces:
Iceburg
Baby Spinach
Greenleaf

1/2 cucumber, seeded
5 slices pre-cleaned mushrooms
1/2 bag (any brand/style) pre-cooked chicken strips
Ginger Dressing

Rinse all veggies, tear lettuces into bite-size pieces. I always remove seeds from cukes. Cut cukes, chicken and mushrooms into bite-size pieces, mix all with hands, pour dressing over, EAT! And I have a Simply Cranberry for my drink :)

Tomorrow's salad will have the all of the above, plus pieces of avocado & some diced tomato.

Tonight's Supper: Tilapia, Quinoa, Black Beans and Veggies

There are various ways of making fish and Quinoa... just make them to your own liking :)
Quinoa is a grain found in the specialty areas of certain grocery stores. Red is my fav, but currently I have a bag of white to use up. It is a great replacement for carbs like rice and pasta.
