Livin’ On Salad

Posted Feb 11 2009 2:40pm

I think this is lunch #3 in a row featuring a big salad - and I know I’ll be having another one tomorrow! I could probably have a big salad everyday for the rest of my life and be happy - I love big bowls of tons of different flavors (and I’m sure I didn’t need to remind you of that :) )

I took my Psych test this morning, which left me just about 45 minutes to exercise before I had to shower and get moving to lunch. So I decided to just hit the pavement for a quick run instead of going the gym. Suited me fine since it’s another warm day! I did about 4.5 miles to a nearby neighborhood and back. I was showered, dressed, makeuped with dry hair in about 20 minutes and decided I’d better have something in my stomach since I had an hour until I was actually meeting my friend for lunch (I had to make a stop at another friend’s house for a textbook first, and the drive was about 20 minutes). So I had some trail mix - and a second handful of blueberries!

Look what tempted me on the way there! I followed this truck the whole way :cool: The One and Only!

I met Brittany for lunch at Salad Creations, which I had never been to before. It was kind of like Subway for salads. You go through a line and tell them what toppings you want and design your own salad. My kinda place! They had 40 toppings and I think I got one of each (minus onions!)

Here’s what mine had (thankfully he only gave me a small amount of each, so it really wasn’t as much as it seems)

  • Romaine + Spinach
  • Sprouts
  • Black Olives
  • Broccoli
  • Carrots
  • Chickpeas (~1/4 cup?)
  • Corn
  • Peas
  • Cucumbers
  • Gorgonzola
  • Green Bell Peppers
  • Hard-Boiled Egg (1 whole)
  • Mandarin Oranges
  • Mushrooms
  • Raisins (~ tbsp?)
  • Sliced Almonds (~1 tbsp?)
  • Tomatoes
  • Creamy Cucumber Wasabi dressing, on the side (I had about 2 tsp?)

I ate The.Whole.Thing. :mrgreen: I think I impressed Brittany! Actually, I wasn’t even that full. But I was perfectly satisfied.

It was SO TEMPTING to go shopping after lunch. We were in a shopping center with all kinds of fun stores - include Bath & Body Works and Homegoods. But I resisted, knowing I have lots of studying to do :( My wallet is very happy at the moment.

I’m sipping a POM spritzer now and am about to stick my nose in some textbooks. Perhaps on the patio!
