I came home today and had roughly 600 calories left to fill. I made one of my staple dinners — the monster salad. This is a 450 Calorie meal that takes a good 20 minutes to pack away.
Beneath that colorful mix of beans, tomatoes, and peppers is a cruciferous extravaganza of kale, broccoli, & cauliflower piled on a huge bed of baby spinach. There’s also some asparagus and onions somewhere in there as well. The dressing is a homemade brew consisting of 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp flax oil, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp minced garlic, and plenty of basil, oregano, parsley, and crushed chili peppers). Yum.
Wow, that thing is beautiful! A work of art! The Sistine Chapel in a bowl!
What’s the white stuff?

That would be cauliflower 🙂
