A lot of participants in this plan asked about having a salad at lunch or dinner. They wanted to have one with their sandwich or with a half serving of soup. This is a fine idea since greens and most veggies don’t add up to many calories and they have a lot of great nutrients.
There are some dressings included in the extra recipes section for just this purpose. These generally have about 50 calories in a serving and this is the most that you would want your dressing to have. Remember that if the greens are very dry you will need less dressing because it clings to the salad better.
Remember, a lunch serving is one-half of a leftover dinner serving.
