Not a lot to say but I show a quick way to make a tasty salad for those days you just don’t have time. Salads can be great, but watch the dressing!

For Sahoor

Since I vowed never to eat eggs again, I went a different route. I ate a bunch of random things to fill me up. I had a protein shake, then moved on to left over chicken from the night before, and lastly an apple and peach. I drank 3 or 4 glasses of water and called it a morning. The chicken was no easy thing to eat that early in the morning though. They were leftovers that I warmed up. Not the easiest thing to chew and digest at 4am. Mission wake up earlier to make something better starts now. I guess Mission go to sleep earlier should begin before that.

For Iftar

A couple of days ago I talked about showing everyone quick ways to eat delicious Paleo meals without eating boring salads every day. I do however want to show a quick way to make a good tasting salad for those days that you are too busy to make something else.

  • a layer of lettuce
  • half of a cucumber, sliced
  • 1 banana pepper
  • hand full of olives, sliced
  • 1 small carrot, diced
  • 1/2 tomato, sliced
  • any left over meat. I used extra ground beef that I had left over from taco night
  • Paleo salad dressing. Keyword Paleo, don’t let me catch you dousing it with Kraft Ranch.

Lay down a layer of lettuce in a wide bowl. Then, add in all of the ingredients, leaving the meat for the end. Do your self a favor and make it look pretty. It makes eating a salad a little more enjoyable. I added Tessemae’s zesty ranch dressing all over it. It tasted great and the greens really filled me up.

See, looks pretty, tasted good, and it took all of 5 minutes to make it. Where people usually go wrong with salads is the dressing. There really is no point in wasting a meal on a salad if you plan on letting it swim in high caloric, fat enriched, processed dressing.

Be wise and stay Paleo my friends.
