“You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces – just good food from fresh ingredients.” – Julia Child
Having fresh ingredients on hand is always a good idea; especially when you’re putting together a simple salad. Crisp vegetables, leafy green lettuce, and freshly squeezed lemon (or lime) juice creates the perfect base for a fresh spring lunch. Fresh lemon juice tossed with olive oil also creates a lighter dressing without sacrificing any flavor. I have to say since first discovering this recipe I’ve made it at least twice a week, sometimes three, (and not just because its part of the body revolution meal plan!) It’s delicious and packed with protein. A perfect lunch!
