Chickpea Feta Salad

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!
