Perfect Lunch Salad #1
Serves
1

I feel better in the afternoon if I eat a healthy lunch, but it needs to have enough taste, fat, and protein to be satisfying. This salad does the trick. Also it's really easy. I was eating it all the time (until I created Perfect Lunch Salad #2 -- now I will have variety). The amounts of ingredients are just guidelines, so of course feel free to adjust to make it perfect for you!


Ingredients

  • 2-3 cup baby spinach
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (or to taste)
  • 1/3 of an avocado, cut in small-ish pieces
  • 1 ounce sharp cheddar cheese, crumbled or diced
  • 2 tablespoon chopped walnuts
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Step 1

    Pick a container (with tight lid) that looks like it will hold the amount of salad you want to eat for lunch. Fill it nearly full with spinach.

  • Step 2

    Sprinkle the spinach with salt, then drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat.

  • Step 3

    Add the avocado to the top of the salad. Drizzle the lemon juice onto the avocado, then toss gently.

  • Step 4

    Add the cheese, walnuts, and fresh ground pepper to taste. If there's still room in your container, cram some more greens on top.

  • Step 5

    Have a happy lunch!
