Corn Chips in a Field of Green Salad Diet Recipe
Entire recipe contains about 2,400 calories and will serve 24 people generously for 100 calories per serving OR 12 people very generously for about 200 calories.
To save even more calories, omit the nuts and substitute a couple of teaspoons of HULLED sunflower seeds or omit totally. In addition, you can use light or low fat cheese to reduce calories as well as 'baked tortilla' chips. Olives may also be omitted.
This is a delicious, light salad that sets well on the tum-tum on a hot summer's day. To make a meal out of the salad, add a bit of sliced roasted chicken.
You'll Need:
An assortment of greens (12 cups OR enough to fill a large bowl) (dandelion greens lend a unique delicious taste to this salad) As a note, these calories are pretty negligible - so add as many greens as desired of the following: any variety of lettuce/chives/parsley/spinach leaves.
1 can of drained mandarin orange slices (140 calories)
1/4 cup of chopped English walnuts (about 200 calories)
1 cup of Light Catalina OR Ranch OR French OR Thousand Island OR your favorite Salad Dressing (we're going to allow 40 calories per Tablespoon)
1/2 cup of grated cheese (use your favorite cheese) (about 250 calories)
1 can of black or green sliced olives, drained (about 140 calories worth)
1 cup of grated carrots (45 calories)
About 6 ounces of corn chips (about 200 corn chips or 1/2 of a 12-ounce bag)
Simply mix & enjoy!
Diet Tip: Cook-A-Head of Cauliflower! This big boy offers a generous serving size, but is small in calories. Cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamin C (cancer fighter) and is strong in blood-building folate.
