Protein Healthy Salad

Lunch time on the go can be a bit tricky if you want to make it healthy. But with a little planning and the right ingredients you can easily throw together a healthy and tasty lunch.

Here is what I am having for lunch today. I don't have a lot of time this morning as I am on my way to Pemberton to give healthy eating tips to the healthy pregnancy program put on my Sea to Sky Community Services. So I whipped up a salad and a dressing to go.

Here is what I did. I put some pre-washed organic greens in my pyrex dish with a lid. I added some cucumber slices leftover from last night's buffalo corn dog's (yep corn dogs; the recipe is in April's edition). Then i tossed on some chick peas and frozen peas (handy ingredients to always have in stock) and sliced on 1/4 of an avocado.

The dressing is 1 tbsp omega 3-6-9 oil, 1 tsp brown rice vinegar, 2 tsp lemon, juice, 1 tsp organic mustard and a teeny squirt of agave nectar. That's it. Make the dressing the night before to save time. Or better yet, make a batch of dressing to keep at work.

It's that easy to eat well on the go. Get more ideas by listening to my Eat Well on the Go mp3 coming soon.....
