Throw Fruit Salad - Forums & Discussions

What do you eat for lunch that's not a salad or a sandwich?

Chicken or lean meat with brown rice, quinoa, sweet potato and veggies. Sometimes I have whole wheat pasta with grilled chicken, EVOO and parm cheese tossed with veggies. Oh yea - I haven't posted in a while so hi everyone! source

Do you add fruit or nuts in your salad?

I only like fruit in the salad recipe of my sisters. It's spinach and sliced strawberries and the dressing is balsamic vinegar, strawberries and a touch of olive oil blended together. source

Tips on storing veggies and fruits anyone?

Usually I don't wash the fruit and veggies that I store in the fridge, just remove them from the plastic bag or make several holes in the bag. If you wash them, make sure to dry them out completely before placing in the fridge. For apples, oranges and pears, I wash them, put them in a large colander and leave them there for a day to dry out. source

Can eating TOO many salads be harmful?

Am I doing it right?

You could add some sprouted seeds to their diet, they are incredibly good for them. There's lots of sites on the net that tell you how, just google sprouting seeds for birds or just sprouts. source
