fresh sliced mushrooms - large handful
1 grilled chicken breast (I grill several pounds each Sunday and use all week!!)
any other raw veggies to your delight (onions, snap peas, cucs, corn, black beans, etc)
2 tbs croutons (optional but worth it for the satisfying crunch)
liberal shakes of Mrs. Dash (I like the original best)
Juice and pulp from 1/2 fresh lime
1 heaping TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
liberal shakes of ground pepper
a little garlic salt (optional)

Here is how you make John's Fresh Veggie and Lime Salad:

chop/tear lettuce, thinly slice chicken and veggies - add spices, EVOO and the juice and pulp from 1/2 fresh lime and toss all in a large bowl.This is a lot of salad for one serving but it fills me up with low calories/carbs - or you can eat half now and half later to go for the "more smaller meals" concept...The lime juice, EVOO, ground pepper and Mrs. Dash is a refreshing, low cal alternative to bottled low cal dressings - after squeesing and pulping I throw the lime rind into my ice water for some extra flavor.Number of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JOHNGERDING.
