Massive Restaurant Salad for 1

Anyone who says a salad can't be filling or a great meal has obviously never had a good salad. A giant salad at a restaurant, topped with a lean protein and amazing toppings is my go to order, with dressing on the side. It's usually cheap, healthy, filling, and delicious. Just like a sandwich, a salad is simply a base for hundreds of different flavors. Don't just stick with a sad bowl of wet iceberg lettuce and store bought ranch dressing

Step 1

In a medium glass, mix together the dressing - yogurt, powdered peanut butter, balsamic, soy sauce, garlic, onion, and black pepper. Nonfat cottage cheese will also work in place of yogurt. Season with salt to taste, and thin out with some water. You want the dressing to be pourable but not too liquidy, like a creamy ceasar

Step 2

Next, chop up the vegetables. Add the spinach and thinly sliced lettuce to a strainer, and wash under cold water for about 30 seconds. Drain, and add as the base to a large bowl

Step 3

Cut the tomatoes pepper into a medium dice. Add over the greens to the side of the bowl. Add the crumbled feta and chopped nuts to the center

Step 4

For the protein source, to keep this cheap and easy for a lunch, I've opted for a drained and rinsed can of tuna (canned in water). It's cheap, low in fat, high in protein, and super easy. Other great protein sources are shredded chicken or ground meat

Step 5

Add your protein source on top of the salad, drizzle with your dressing, and enjoy!
