My favorite dinners are those that are fast to make AND healthy! I’m vegetarian, but my husband and three boys are not, so I usually spend most of my dinner prep making their meal, and that leaves me a few minutes to make mine. This salad is so yummy, high in protein, low calorie, and incredibly easy to make. I rinse off some spring mix salad that is in a box from Whole Foods, toss it in a balsamic vinaigrette, and then add chickpeas from a can (that I have rinsed off) and crumbled feta. Yum!

Broccoli Salad with Cashews
Super easy, fast and filling snack that is also low in calories. Simply steam some broccoli, throw it in a bowl and dress it in one tablespoon mayo, and then add chopped up cashews. I use the magic bullet to chop the cashews. I measure out 100 calories worth of cashews, and 1 tablespoon of my mayo is 100 calories. In my mind the calories of broccoli don’t count, so this whole fast, yummy, healthy treat is only 200 calories!
