Very Berry Vinegarette, Very Vinegary Berries
On Sundays for lunch I like to make salads, since unlike an average day when MR eats a giant (and I mean giant... you need a forklift to move the thing) salad, on Sundays we eat an eggwhite scramble with a ton of veggies and MR's specially engineered low carb whey protein buckwheat pancakes. So yesterday I made two salads for lunch: a very berry kale salad, and a tomato cilantro salad. Here are the recipes:
Very Berry
100 g blackberries
100 g raspberries
2 tbsps balsamic vinegar
50 g kale
1/4 cup fat free ricotta
Marinate the berries in the vinegar for about an hour. They'll get a little mushy. Chop the kale and top with the 1/4 cup fat free ricotta. Distribute berries and berry vinegar across the kale and ricotta. Eat! Add a teaspoon of flax or hazelnut oil if desired.
Fresh cilantro salad
About 200 g tomatoes
lots of fresh cilantro
dash of half-salt
fresh pepper
60 g fresh avocado
30 g arugula
Chop cilantro, vinegar and avocado and stir together. Spread over arugula and dust with a dash of salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper. Serve cold.
Salad nirvana!

April-
I stumbled upon your blogs one day and since then I've printed every back log; I love having a glass of wine, floppin my overstuffed bear (it's the size of a bean bag chair,great for resting your head on) on the floor and just read your blogs. It's you being human and how you sort out the challenges, analyzing them in your head but in a way that is very "you" (it makes me laugh). I'm inspired by your enthusiasm/determination to make CR fit into your lifestyle and how you've made it simplistic for your needs. I'm gone most of the day and I appreciate how you've broken your diet down and prep examples.
Thank you!!
Carolyn
