Let's share one recipe that can save your life. None of my wolves is naturally attracted to salads. But there is one recipe that even the good wolf enjoys.

Italian salad

Iceberg, dried tomatoes, prosciutto di Parma, mozzarella, olives, red pesto. Cut it to small pieces, mix it well, delicious!

How about your recipes?
 
My go to salad is shredded lettuce, fresh mint & Italian flat leaf parsley, celery, tomato, snow peas, olives, grated carrot, some canned tuna(in olive oil), 1/4 of an avocado, a little fat-free mayo & some homemade Vinaigrette. Sometimes I add some grated Parmesan or tasty cheese, sun-dried tomatoes instead of fresh, not always some carrot, but this is how it normally is. I love it!
 
We went to a charity ball today with my wife. I am sorry to say there was a free dinner included in the price of the ticket. If we danced more than once, I would say that we deserved it. But we didn't. Downhill skiing tomorrow to compensate. 14th day of my new life style. Critical moments - the good wolf is getting tired...

So any more salad recipes to share for weekend dinners? (Thanks cate, that is almost called synchronicity :) )
 
Not a salad person - at all! Just no good at raw food. I prefer meals that start with sweating off large amounts of onions :p

If you are looking for lettuce-based salads, then my favorite is the Greek salad – lettuce, rucola (arugula), tomatoes, cucumber, white onions, black olives and Feta cheese – simple, but tasty. Feta cheese is also available in ‘Light’ version, but I prefer to use the ‘normal’ Feta and better adding it less to the salad rather than taking the light version and adding it more. Sometimes I add canned corn or pepper to this salad. However, I have understood that the most crucial thing with salads is the dressing. The same ingredient salad, but with various dressings one gets totally different taste :) Original salad recipe requires balsamico dressing (not from the bottles, self-made!). Another dressings that I use with this salad is rucola-mustard dressing or mustard-honey dressing :)

I am not eating fish, but one of my friends is usually eating tuna salad – lettuce, canned corn, tomatoes, onion, boiled eggs and canned tuna.
 
I´m not one for recipes (I just look at what happens to look fresh and ripe at the market and take it from there) and as I said I´m big on raw food anyway but almost every salad gets better if you add grilled bell pepper fillets. So good!
 
It’s been a hard day’s night, and I been working with a flu
It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be eating Irish stew
But when I get home to you I find the salads you do
Will make me feel alright

Well, I admit I failed for two days, Monday + Tuesday, being sick and weak and frustrated.
But I was rescued by my old good Italian Salad today :)

It seems like half the forum has been struggling with illness :( Get well soon Otherly!
 
Dealing with viruses as best you can is not failing, fyi :) Glad you're feeling better and good job jumping right back onto the vitamin train!
 
Well, lets not forget that our diaries are in motivational section of this forum :)
I will tell you a stunning story - to learn that we are not aware of our real power!

I bought an orchid flower in a pot for my wife's birthday, last June. It was beautiful, but the flowers were gone in two months.

Now, most people would throw away the pot after this, but not my wife. We were watching the bare stems at our window for four months, while she was sure it will blossom again.

I am quite capable not to argue about her crazy ideas, when she sees angels in photographs or new flowers in old pots. And I love her.

I realized I was crazy myself, when I saw the first new orchid blossoming on January the first, 2017!

Now there are five of them!

Such is the power of life, power of dreams and our good intentions!
Do you still think you cannot blossom yourself in couple of weeks, in couple of hours, or maybe even, right now? :)
