Broccoli Salad

My favorite food this week, and the easiest way I'm getting in extra fruits & veggies, is a broccoli salad I throw together. In no particular amount, I combine the following:

• Broccoli florets (I use the bags that are already cut up)
• Broccoli cole slaw
• Chopped red onion
• Canned mandarin oranges
• Chopped gala apple
• Canned garbanzo beans, drained
• Tofu, either plain or slightly browned in a skillet and then cooled.
• Galeo's Miso dressing
• Salt & pepper

Yummy!!

Thanks to a couple of friends for pointing me in the direction of Hungry Girl. This site has lots of information on low fat substitutions for high fat indulgences, especially related to products and recipes. Not very much information on fruits and vegetables and adding them into your diet, but a helpful site nevertheless.

Check out the next recipe I'm going to try, HG's 8-layer dip. It incorporates veggies, meatless "ground beef" and beans for a low fat treat to increase your veggies. Try it with La Tortilla low-carb/low-fat large size tortillas, only 80 calories per tortilla.
