Who is tired of eating lettuce with a bit of dressing on it?? Well I am! It gets very boring, and rather tasteless. So I have made a Mexican style salad, that tastes much better!
So I started with a layer of fat free refried beans on the bottom. I heated it up in the microwave to they were warm. Fat free beans only have a 2 PP value. Then I dumped on the lettuce to make it salad-like. Lettuce has a 0 PP value. Next I added red and yellow pepper, jalapenos, onion, carrot, and cucumber. All of these vegetables have a 0 PP value as well. Then I added 1/4 cup of cheese for 3 PP to top it off. Salsa also would have been a good no point addition.
The total Points Plus for this meal was 5 points.
This salad was rocking and was rather filling. I still needed to have some protein with this meal, like greek yogurt or a few slices of turkey. It was filling and very good! This salad is a great idea to be healthy, and not be forced to load tablespoons of fat filled dressing over plain lettuce.
