Quick Meal Ideas

The Salad has been a point-saver for me. There's something about eating a giant bowl of food that makes me forget I'm on a diet! The salad is also a great way to use leftovers.

Here's a nice easy dressing that is low in points and makes a great sandwich spread or salad dressing

In a food processor, combine:

1/2 cup low-fat Sour Cream
1/4 Light Miracle Whip
4 canned roasted red peppers (in water, no oil)
3 Sprigs of Cilantro
Juice of one lime
Juice of one lemon
2 TBS roasted salsa

You're looking for a consistency similar to Ceaser Dressing. This makes about 8-10 servings and less than a point per 2 TBS serving.

This salad below is a leftovers suprise salad. It has chopped Romaine, 2 TBS of the dressing, canned mandarine oranges (with juice), and some leftover pork (about 2 ounces) that was warned in a pan with some spare stock and a spoonful of .Rotel Diced Tomatoes and Peppers. Makes a nice warm Southwest salad. Works well with pulled chicken or even leftover turkey meat. It's 1 point per each ounce of meat and a 1/2 point for the dressing and fruit juice. A huge bowl of food for less than 5 points.
