My Go-To Healthy Salads and Sandwiches

I’m a cold lunch girl all the way. My whole life I’ve preferred a great sandwich over any type of warm meal when the clock strikes noon. Sometimes I even have a salad or sandwich for dinner when I’m having a low key night. During Phase 1 of P90X, I eat a salad nearly every day for lunch and during Phases 2 and 3, I usually would whip up my favorite turkey avocado sandwich.  A favorite go-to salad to bring to a party is my strawberry goat cheese salad. Everyone loves it so it’s the perfect low-fat side dish for BBQs and parties. I always offer to bring it so that I have something healthy to eat at the party (usually this doesn’t stop me for diving into dessert though!)

Below are my favorite go-to recipes.  I didn’t include portion sizes for many because it’s up to you depending on how large of a salad/sandwich you’d like and your personal preference. Also, I prefer all ingredients to be organic, but it’s up to you! I simply list the ingredients – you can figure the rest out!

Chinese Chicken or Shrimp Salad

Chinese Chicken Salad
  • Grilled chicken or cold shrimp (if you chose shrimp, squeeze a fresh lemon over it and sprinkle with salt before adding)
  • Mixed greens
  • Shredded or sliced organic carrots (I use a peeler and peel one large carrot into my bowl to make long strands of carrot)
  • 1 tbsp chopped almonds
  • Chopped red peppers, onion, cucumber and tomato
