Salmon Leftovers...

Today I had to think fast about what to serve for lunch. I am posting about lunch today because tonight we have dinner plans with family.

I was trying to think about how I could reuse salmon without stinking up the house. I decided to serve a tomato and spinach salad with salmon and Annie's organic Goddess dressing. 

The salad was GREAT!!! What was funny is the fact that I really could not taste the spices on the salmon last night, but today I could really taste the spices, especially the thyme. I did not choose a low fat dressing because the meal last night was very healthy and lunch was healthy today too. I used just a serving of dressing on my salad which is 2 tablespoons, which actually was enough to coat the salad without over-kill. 

What I really love about salad is you can eat a lot of it and fill up on the greens. Filling up on vegetables is a really great way to make sure you don't over eat on the less healthy foods. The USDA has just come out with a different type of visual to help people eat healthier. The traditional model was a pyramid and it suggested that everyone eat three to five servings of vegetable a day, but who really knows how much that truly is. The USDA's new model is a dinner plate, which shows a plate that says 1/2 of the plate should be vegetables and fruits. Having a visual that we all call relate to makes more sense.

Now time to think about tomorrows dinner!
