Haystacks

Haystack is one of my favorite salads. This version of that recipe has the right amount of lean protein and non-starchy vegetables.

Lean and green meals at a glance:

• 5-7 oz lean protein

• 3 servings of non-starchy vegetables

• ≤ 2 servings of healthy fats (depending on your choice of lean protein)

• ≤ 3 condiments

Yields 1 serving

Takes 10 minutes to make

Ingredients:

• 5.1 oz iceberg lettuce - 2 greens

• 3.17 oz tomatoes (2.63 oz if using cherry tomatoes) - 1 green

• 2 oz part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese (or other skim cheese of choice) - half serving lean protein

• 1 bag Quest chips (any flavor)- half serving lean protein

• 2 T sour cream - 1 condiment

• 2 T salsa - 2 condiments

• 1 T water

Instructions:

Cut lettuce into shreds and chop tomatoes. Mix lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and crushed quest chips together in a bowl. In a small bowl, mix sour cream, salsa, and water together. This will serve as the salad's dressing. Pour over salad and enjoy.
