Salad Matrix

Filling Salad for Dinner

This is matrix I use to build my lunch salad or even dinner sometimes. Just grab one or more items from each row and load it in a box or bowl. I have one copy hanging on the fridge and the other works as my grocery shopping list.

Greens	Lettuce And more …..
Fresh Veggies	Pepper - sweet multi colored Carrot Cucumber Celery Radish Sweet Pea
Boiled veggies	Boiled Potatoes (chopped  cubes or slices) Eggs (Hard boiled or Poached) Broccoli (steamed)
Frozen / Canned  Veggies	Edamame Corn Peas Beets Artichoke
Carbs	Pasta Quinoa Couscous
Fruits	Cranberry Dates Apricot Watermelon Apple Orange / Mandarin / Cuties Cantaloupe Grapes Mango Dehydrated fruits (like shaved apples, dried pinapple, peaches, prunes...)

Carry these items in separate box, so they don’t get soggy. Mix them at the time of eating.

Crunch	Croutons Breads Tortilla chips
Nuts	Groundnut Cashew Almonds Pecan
Cheese	Feta Parmesan
Dressing	Olive oil Lemon juice Vinegar Lite Mayo Hummus Soya sauce Yogurt/Curd/ Ranch
Cooked Sabji	Channa Chole Brown channa Rajma Green Beans Black eyed Peas Squash Aloo bhaja (spiced strong with green chilly) A whole bunch of Indian cuisine Sabji’s & Poriyal go really well with a green salad, making you feel full.
