Quick & Healthy: Salad Slam-Dunk

This is the time of the year during which we will be obsessive about working out, counting calories and trying to lose some weight that we will never lose ;) May be not all, but most of us.

Here is a salad that is light yet filling, but not too heavy. It will energize you appropriately and not make you feel depressed.

Salad:

Chop a red onion, tomato, peeled cucumber (about quarter-inch by quarter-inch size). Finely chop a bit of cilantro. Now comes the protein part. Add canned black-eyed peas or black beans or pinto beans or even chick peas. I like it with black-eyed peas. You can also boil the peas/beans from scratch. That's totally upto you. You can skip the protein part if this salad is going to be just an appetizer and not your whole meal. You really can control the protein based on your requirement. This is a very good diet if you are working out.

Dressing: This is a total no-brainer. This can never go wrong. Use one tablespoon of lime/lemon juice, grate a bit of lemon/lime skin using a fine grater, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix everything together and that forms your dressing.

You can customize pretty much anything depending on your taste and requirement. Try this one and let me know how it went.
