I couldn't leave you without the simple recipes to the two salads from the photos above. They are a good example of what I eat on a daily basis. I eat a lot of greens, and usually pick up the big clamshells at Whole Foods to make easy salads. I make my dressings ahead of time, and toss in whatever beans or lentils I have in the fridge. Keep you kitchen well stocked with healthy food, and putting it together as a meal becomes easy.
