The most common ingredients you can find in my pantry on a daily basis are basic veggies for salads, because that’s the easiest and healthiest food I can make in minutes. All you need is some greens, bell peppers, celery, avocado, home made dressing, some protein (which you can have pre-cooked) and you’re good to go. I did this delicious salad the other day out of my Salmon leftovers and it was delicious. It’s also a great example of portions sizing.

Ingredients for one serving:
1 portion size of pan fried Salmon (4 oz)
1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, etc.)
1/2 red bell pepper chopped in small cubes
3 celery stalks chopped in small cubes
1/4 cucumber chopped in small cubes

Dressing for multiple servings:
1/4 cup peanut oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
4 tbsp Shallots (finely diced)
1/4 tsp Ginger (freshly grated)
1/4 tbsp fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
Salt, pepper, and a 1/2 tbsp erythritol or honey to taste

___________________________

1. Heat up 4 tbsp grapeseed oil in a medium size sauce pan over medium size heat.

2. When the oil is hot, place the salted and peppered Salmon fillet skin down into the pan and cook for about 4 minutes, then flip over and cook for another 4 minutes until the pink bottom looks golden brown. Set aside and let cool down. Then eat the crispy yummy skin before you dice the salmon 🙂 I love the crispy skin!!

3. Mix all the salad ingredients with the salmon and about 1 – 2 tablespoons of the delicious dressing.
