Fruits and Greens Salad

Are you on a diet? Conscious about your weight? Tired of eating meat? 


Have you ever experienced coming home from a party or fiesta with lots of meat dishes? In the Philippines, it is usually a practice that guests bring home some leftover dishes that the host prepared as a sign of gratitude for attending and gracing the party. Isn't it interesting? Imagine eating lots of meat while on the party and when you get home, you still have some of those meat to eat the next day.


This good and healthy recipe that i prepared for today is a good break away from meat dishes bursting from your refrigerator. It is called Fruits and Greens Salad. The ingredients you need are:


oak leaf lettuce
ripe mango
black olives 
cucumber


Soak the oak leaf lettuce in vegetable wash for five minutes and rinse well. It makes the leaf crunchy and more green. There are organic vegetable wash available in the groceries. Then cut the leaves an inch wide. Peel the ripe mangoes and cut on both sides to remove the seed, then slice in small pieces. Slice the black olives. Do not peel the cucumber because much of its nutrients is in the skin. Cut into half lengthwise then slice. Toss all the ingredients together. Eat with the dressing of your choice.
