I was at the Austin Barefoot Running Meetup Group and happened to overhear my friend Mo say he wanted to find recipes for Paleo salad dressing. If you look at salad dressings in the store, you'll find that even the ones that say "olive oil dressing" are made with canola or soybean oil.
I was at work and came up with the salad above. Please note that the real salad I ate was about three times that size. What you're seeing is the last bit of my meal arranged to look nice on a plate.
To make this into a Zone meal (to give it a 40-30-30 ratio of carbs, protein, and fat), eat the entire salad with an apple or other piece of fruit. Your meal will contain about 350 calories.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup cooked ground turkey
2 to 4 cups baby spinach
1/4 large avocado
1 to 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (start with 1 Tbsp and add more to taste)
2 to 3 Tbsp pico de gallo or fresh salsa (salsa from the jar won't taste as good)
salt and pepper (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a cup or small bowl, mash together the turkey and avocado.
2. In a large salad bowl, toss together the spinach, lemon juice, and pico de gallo.
3. Add the turkey, avocado, salt, and pepper to the spinach. Mix well so that some of the oil from the avocado coats the spinach.
