My Salad Recipes

As I adjusted my diet to include more veggies during block 1 of P90X I learned to add salads to my daily diet.  I found new recipes and I have old favorites too.  On this page I will collect these recipes.  Also I include the recipes in the app I have been using lately to track my calorie intakes, Lose It.

Summer Heaven Fruit Salad - Added 7/23/12


481 Cal serving
Total Fat - 20.6g / Carb 73.4g / Protein 7.3g

SGF and I experimented with different combinations of melon and mint to create the perfect mix of flavors, refreshment and pure sugar satisfaction.  This one is a keeper!  The mint to fruit ratio is important here to keep the mint to overpower.  This fruit salad comes with cals and fats so it’s not for the faint of heart or the dedicated dieter lol  Also not included here but fresh grapes would make for a great addition to this bowl.  You could also avoid most of the fat by not adding the walnuts.

Watermelon (1 cup, diced))

Melon, Honeydew (1cup, diced)

Walnut, 1 oz

Dried cranberries pomegranate infused, 1 oz

½ Sprig of fresh mint

Aborted Omelette Salad - Added 7/19/12

266 Cal Serving

Total Fat - 16.7g / Carb 14g / Protein 18.6g (with whole boiled egg)

279 Cal Serving

Total Fat - 11.4g / Carb 16.5g / Protein 30.3g (substitute whole egg with 3/4 cup egg whites)

When you gather all the ingredients for an omelette then decide you don't feel like an omelette.  It happens ... You can drop the ingredients on a bed of red leaf romaine (or other green), add a boiled egg (or remove the cooked yoke to cut back on fat) then add a little avocado and ... Voila!  This version is based on the Insanity's nutrition booklet "protein omelette".  Warm-up the omelette ingredients 30s in microwave then lay over a bed of lettuce and avocado.

1 whole hard egg

2 oz deli-style turkey breast, sliced

1/2 cup sliced mushrooms / onions

1/2 avocado, diced

1 roasted red pepper (I used 

2 cups Greens mixed (lettuce or whatnot)
