Gigantic Mexican Salad for around 250 cals
 

I got this idea from a makeup guru on youtube (makeupgeek tv).. and I decided to try it for lunch today. It was so simple, delicous and very filling.

This is what I threw into a big bowl:

1/2 cup corn (I used unsalted, unsweetened canned corn)
1/2 cup pinto beans
Chopped yellow pepper
Shredded carrots
1 1/2 cupChopped Mixed greens
1 tbsp garlic pepper onion straws
2 tablespoons lite house salsa ranch (it's in the refrigerator by the salads)

You can other veggies if you want. But it made the most amazing at-home salad I've ever had for around 250 calories. The beans & the corn made it extremely filling!!! I am so stuffed =D

thanks, this sounds delicious!

That sounds so good. I may have to go back to the store to get that dressing. Should have everything else. Thanks.

That does sound great! I would be tempted to add some chopped cilantro if I had some, too! I love salsa ranch. A lot of times I make my own with Kraft LF ranch and salsa- that way you can put in more salsa than dressing and keep the calories super low! The FF ranch is kinda grody, but the LF is pretty darn good!

I watch Marlena's videos too! This is a great idea. Thanks!

ooh that sounds amazing. I'm gonna have to make it.

and I've been looking for a ranch/ salsa type dressing. Hadn't thought to look in the fridge.

sounds yummy! gotta try this one!

So, is salsa ranch a dressing?

I love makeupgeek! She's lost so much...

And I make my own salsa-ranch. I'm too cheap and I already have them both on hand! :D

I've had this about 4 times and I love it. For the dressing I just mix half and half light ranch and salsa. I can't find the other dressing in canada.

Wow, this sounds great!! Thanks for sharing!

I think I may have that later on since I'm in need to veggies and fiber! :D Although I probably will just use salsa, we'll see. Thanks!
