Lunches by Todd

What's the biggest difference between my wife and I? I'll eat ANYTHING, literally anything. I don't care what's mixed with what or what it is. I'll eat it.

So keep that in mind when you're reading my posts about meals I made for myself with little to no help from my more culinarily realistic wife.

I had a 150 mile bike ride this weekend, so I knew I had to eat healthy. Two salads in two days...

Day 1:

• Red Leaf Lettuce (Farm Share)
• Organic Hard Boiled Egg (Farm Share)
• Bacon
• Blue Cheese Crumble
• Organic Avocado
• Olive Oil
• Balsamic Vinaigrette
• Organic Chopped Walnuts

Washed the lettuce, cut it up into bite sized pieces and threw them in a bowl. I did try a piece of the red leaf lettuce on it's own and it was AMAZING! Very sweet and crispy! There is something to say for fresh and local. I ate the whole salad and wasn't even hungry till dinner. I think the protein from the egg and walnuts helped!

Day 2:

• Leafy Green Leafs (Farm Share)
• Okay, so I don't really know these were but if I had to guess I might say Chinese Cabbage. If anyone else has any ideas please feel free to comment.
• Green Onions (Farm Share)
• Scapes (Extra from our neighbors Farm Share) 
• Small Can of Tuna
• Organic German Mustard
• Sweet Relish
• Balsamic Vinaigrette

I mixed the Green Onions, Scapes, Tuna, Mustard and Relish together to create the tuna salad.

I washed the green mystery leaves and spread them on the plate. I put the tuna salad on top and drizzled the balsamic and olive oil over everything as a dressing.  It was amazing. The only issue I had... those mystery leaves had small prickly hairs on the back of them. 

It was down the hatch and I was full and healthy!
