Disclaimer: I'm not great with salads, I don't make too many, aside from Greek, which I LOVE (no oil, no onion) So I may sound like a dork getting excited over this!!!
So, I wanted some protein for lunch...and I thought I'd experiment a bit! I was really hungry and wanted something big.
So into my
large mixing bowl, I threw:
3-ish cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 large tomato diced
1/2 a red pepper diced
2-ish cups chopped cucumber
1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese
1oz feta, crumbled
tiny sprinkle of balsamic vinegar
a tablespoon or so of the feta water
It's SOOooooo yummy! It's got some good protein from the cheeses, and it's
SO huge that I can't finish it all.....for....298 calories!!!
Please forgive my silly excitement!

Does anybody else have ideas for yummy salads that are very low cal and high protein???
