[Recipe] The Two Pound Salad

Find this recipe, and others, in Coach Harry's Favorite High-Performance Recipes

Ingredients

• 3-4 cups lettuce (I use half chopped romaine and half "spring mix" pre-mixed lettuce)
• 1/2 beans (I use black beans)
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
• a few slices of red onion, to taste
• 1/3 cup water-sauteed mushrooms
• a few tbsp dressing (I use the Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette)

Instructions

1. Put the lettuce in a large bowl
2. Add the rest of the vegetables, I like to arrange them around to make a pretty pattern
3. Optionally add other toppings, like corn, bell pepper, or cucumber slices
4. Drizzle on dressing, to taste
5. Toss and enjoy

Note

These ingredient amounts are a suggestion, feel free to adjust as makes sense for you.

Why Coach Harry Likes It

This massive salad makes a great foundational dish for lunch. The lettuce and cabbage, the beans, the onion, the mushrooms, and the dressing make sure you hit 5 of Dr. Fuhrman's 6 "G-BOMBS" - some of the most nutritious foods that you should try to eat every day. Furthermore, it feels like it helps fill me up and energizes me throughout the rest of the day, without sitting heavy in my stomach or slowing me down.
