Today choose to change the way you eat. Try some new vegetable like Daikon Radish, Baby Zucchini, or Radicchio.
Look on a website like www.epicurious.com or www.gourmet.com for a recipe to cook your new veggies. Do not give up if you do not like a new vegetable the first time you try it. Sometimes a new flavor can be a little shock to our system and, unless it has been engineered to taste great, will require some getting adjusted to.
Here is a salad that I like to make:
2 cups Baby Spinach - chopped large
1/2 head of Radicchio - cut into ribbons
3/4 cups carrots - chopped small
1/2 cup Daikon radish
1 handful Fresh Parsley - chopped fine
1 cup Grape Tomatoes - halved
1/4 cup Slivered Raw Almonds
Handful of Tart Cherries
This salad has some bitter leaves(radicchio, daikon) in it but a fair amount of sweet flavors to add balance. Play with the ingredients a little until it fits your palate.
I make this salad often, sometimes I put goat cheese in it if I need a few more calories for the day. Leave out the cheese if you are trying to lose weight.
Add a small amount of a low fat dressing, measure to be sure you are eating properly.
Enjoy and share it with your friends
