My Current High Energy Salad

I have always used salads as one part of my High Energy Diet food choices. In the beginning, I used a Greek salad as my staple. I have changed my salad choice as I have been adding more Asian flavors to my food plan. The Asian five flavors include sweet, sour, spicy, salty, and bitter. At the end of the post, I’ve included some Asian recipes with information about the growth of American adaptation of Asian flavors.

Steve Petusevsky writes “Vegetarian Today” in the Sun-Sentinel, my local newspaper. In the July 17, 2008 issue, he writes about his Asian Peanut Lo Mein, a salad for which he keeps the ingredients ready but unmixed until time to eat it. The salad is here.

For my current High Energy Diet salad, I keep mandarin oranges, grape tomatoes with carrot matchsticks, chickpeas (garbanzo beans), and two different types of greens from Fresh Express. I have each ingredient in separate clear containers so that I can mix a salad up when I feel hungry. Sometimes I add other things such as red onions or drained water chestnuts. For my dressing I use Newman’s Own Light Raspberry and Walnut. I love Newman dressings and I appreciate the millions that have gone to charity through the sale of these dressings.
