And then there were salads

When my trainer said we had to work on my food intake, my immediate thought was what I'd have to give up. My Zaxby's #1 meal, near and dear to my heart. But what we were actually talking about was moderation. And what's the opposite of chicken tenders and French fries? That's right: salad.

I like salad, don't get me wrong, but modifying my lunch-eating habits was going to take some getting used to. Luckily, I know how to make a good salad. So I set up a plan to make 3 salads for myself (replacing 3 eating out lunch meals) per week. I can do that. (And then, eventually, Jayme asked me to make her 3 salads for the week, too.)

So I thought I'd document what I make and how I make them.

Ingredients
Prep
Lettuce first
Then some toppings
Cut and applied
Add some chicken, fresh corn, and cheese
Prepare some dressing in the bowl things (for mine)
And some Colby Jack cheese slices for a side
Jayme likes some hard-boiled eggs
But not the yolks
And they’re gone
All salads done!

With the salads done, it’s now time for dessert:

Strawberries and blueberries
Cut and ready

Et voila! There’s my lunch prep instructions for the week.

Feel free to take and customize!
