Good afternoon!
I have a fabulous guest lunch entry today by the wonderful Leah. Leah and I have known each other ever since our 1st year in university!! We have been great friends ever since. :D
Leah submitted this awesome power lunch to me and I just couldn’t keep it to myself. I’m not sure if I have ever seen such a beautiful lunch!
“Hey Ange,
Here are three pictures of my lunch today. I was dying for
a huge salad and I’m not just a lettuce, tomato and cucumber kind of
girl. I love to stock up my salads with loads of goodies.. which is
another reason I love salad bars so much (but rarely go out to them!).Leah’s Power Salad:
This salad contained:
mixed lettuce with beetroot – but mainly spinach leaves
cucumber
tomato
green pepper
walnuts
cottage cheese (about 1/4 cup)
dried cranberries
sliced pineapple
low fat caesar dressing
flax sprinkled on topTalk about a power salad!!
I love the close up shot.. yum!!!
All the flavours were perfect together.”
And the drool worthy pictures….
Wow!!!!
Oh my gosh I am so craving a huge salad right now!!! Thanks Leah!
