Fresh Meaty Garden Salad for Picky Saladers



Ingredients (4 Servings)
1 Bag Lettuce of choice
Punnet baby plum tomatoes (nice and sweet)
1 Cucumber
400g Fat trimmed meaty bits
1 tub Feta Cheese (I use Arista Danish Style Feta, VERY creamy, 180g drained per tub)
Grated Parmesan
Ina Paarman's dressing
Balsamic Vinegar

 A 'hard to believe' under 400 Calorie Meal

Now this just seems WAY too good to be true doesn't it? The trick is PORTION CONTROL! This is a big salad and will definately fill the tummy.  You don't need mountains of cheese and oceans of dressing. You DON'T NEED MAYO! Why? There is 100 Calories in 15grams of Mayo. I'll say that again, 100 Calories in 3 teensy (not heaped) teaspoon of mayo.

The Calorie breakdown:
Mixed lettuce, tomato and cucumber (80cals)
50g Danish Feta (95cals) Much nicer than 3 measly teaspoons of mayo
Fat trimmed Meaty bits 100g (120cals) I used left over gammon that I had frozen
30ml Ina Paarman Salad Dressing (30cals) I use honey/mustard
Splash of Balsamic Vinegar (5Cals)
Grated Parmesan 10g (40Cals)

And there you have it! 370Cals of delisciousness.

Add a few more cals for safe measure depending on how you decide to flavour those meaty bits ;)
