She eats so well! Greek inspired salad and Gluten Free Wrap

   Incorporating veggies into your meals can be a daunting task for the nutritionally challenged. But there's more to veggies than a sauté pan and a pre mixed salad bag. By making veggies the main focus of your meal rather than the side sweetheart to your meat you will be able to enjoy a wider range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants without popping that multi-vitamin. And you will benefit from the increase in energy you will get and will be amazed at how clean you will feel. It will be like your stomach is high-fiving you saying " thanks for the great game today, champ".

Salad:

 I always aim for a great salad before any meal I eat. A typical go to green salad for me is a mean mixed Greek version. I use Olivia's Organics salad mixes whether it be Mixed Spring Greens, Arugula, or Baby Spinach. Feel free to use any brand, but definitely make sure you are buying your greens organic!

So pick your choice of greens.  Next add in chopped organic grape tomatoes, chopped and peeled organic cucumbers, chopped sweet vidalia onion, and kalamata olives. You can add in feta cheese as well but I prefer to limit the amount of dairy I have in one meal. Then top with my greek salad dressing recipe below!

Greek Dressing:

1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/8 cup water
1/4 cup Dijon Mustard
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tablespoon Oregano
1 Tablespoon Basil
1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder

Mix well in a Cruet or store in a plastic container. Dijon Mustard may be adjusted according to preference. I tend to add mine in on the heavier side.

Greek Wrap:

For this wrap I used a Gluten Free Brown Rice version by Food for Life (found in the freezer section). I then topped it with Hummus (see recipe below) Organic Arugula, Organic Pea Shoots, half of an avocado,  sliced organic grape tomatoes, feta cheese, and a few shakes of my Greek Dressing from above.

Hummus Recipe

1 16oz can Eden Organic Chickpeas, drained except for 1/4 cup liquid saved
5 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 Tablespoon Tahini
1 garlic clove crushed
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 Tablespoons olive oil

In Food processor combine the above ingredients and blend until smooth.
