Dinner

by DMC

Yum. Romaine Lettuce. Spinach leaves. Freshly-picked tomato. Small pear, chopped. Sprinkling of feta cheese and walnuts. 20 squirts of raspberry vinaigrette. This mega salad brought my calories for the day up to 764 (and I counted everything, even the lettuce and spinach--70 calories). I made a miscalculation at breakfast and only counted ONE of the pieces of light bread, so it wasn't until I was totalling up my dinner that I discovered the error. By then, of course, I'd already eaten the salad. So, today I went well over my 600 calories...but that's okay. As I said in a previous post, when one's target is 600 calories, a mistake here and there is nothing to sweat over. After all, anything under 900 calories a day for an adult (even a short one like me!) is considered a seriously calorie-restricted diet.

But...the salad is truly a thing of beauty, isn't it?
