Recipe: My Favorite Salad

I don't know what to call it, and I'm probably not the first to try
this combination but here's what I like in my "Bazooka-Joe Special":

Lettuce (5 cups romain and iceberg)
Mushrooms (1/2 cup)
4 Chopped Pickled Asparagus
1 whole Artichoke Heart
1 small Tomato
1/4 cup Diced Onion
2oz. Diced Deli Virginia Ham (can substitute grilled chicken)
1 Chopped Hardboiled Egg
Optional: mandarine orange slices, pineapple chunks, apple slices,
carrots

1/4 cup Home made Italian Vinagrette (2 tbsp=10 calories, 0g fat)

Can't usually finish the whole thing, but it only takes 5 minutes to
make.

Looks like a meal in a bowl!

Lettuce is not always at its best at this time of year in the UK, so
here's my winter side salad:

1/4 cucumber, quartered and sliced
1 small courgette (zucchini) sliced
3-4 mushrooms, sliced
2 large tomatoes, chopped
a stick of celery, sliced
an apple, chopped
half a red pepper (capsicum) chopped
1 carrot, sliced
a drizzle of olive oil and a splash of Balsamic Vinegar
some fresh basil if you have it.

DH and I usually have this with a round (or two for him!) of 3-4 point
sandwiches. I often make mine with two slices of wholemeal bread, s
dollop of extra light Philadelphia cheese, and a half point slice of
lean ham. Sometimes the vegetables vary a bit according to what we have
in at the time. Cabbage is a good addition too, especially red cabbage.

The salad will keep a day or two in the fridge if you leave the dressing
off. Makes a good Take To Work salad, and a whole meal with the
addition of something like feta cheese or hard boiled eggs.
