This salad is so full of goodies!! I just love how refreshing each crunchy bite feels and knowing how healthful it is makes it all the more yummy!! For my friends that are just looking for a low fat, low cal, nutrient packed meal or for those who are looking for a quercetin rich recipe…here’s a good one!!
- 1 apple (skin on) cored and chopped
- 1-2 celery stalks sliced
- 1 c of grapes preferably red, halved
- your choice of protein: Either 1 can of chickpeas drained and rinsed, 1 block of tofu drained and cubed, or cubed chicken style filets (I like Quorn brand)
- 1/4 c chopped nuts (optional) Either pecans or walnuts
- 2-3 tbsp your choice: yogurt (plain, non-fat, or vegan), veganaise, or if you’re not vegan you can go for the mayo
- 1 head of lettuce preferably romaine or bib lettuce
Toss all of your ingredients together in either yogurt or mayo/veganaise, serve it over chopped romaine or roll it up in bib lettuce and enjoy!!
