Black Bean Boca Burger Taco Salad

We had this Black Bean Boca Burger Taco Salad for Dinner tonight.  It was great and very quick to make!

Start with a thik bed (2 or 3 cups) of chopped organic baby spinach. 
Add about 1 1/2 of chopped coleslaw mix.
1/2 can Black Beans for each salad.
Add salsa, and one chopped Boca Burger that has been cooked in the microwave, stovetop, grill or broiler.
Add optional quacomole (one 100-calorie pack is actually good for two salads).

So easy!! No excuse not to eat a healthy salad...

Winter Fruit Salad

Summer is gone and the beautiful melons we've been eating are gone with it. I changed up our fruit salad to use apples as the base. But, this morning was colder than normal, so I added cooked oatmeal too.

1/2 cup quick oats cooked in enough water to cover.

Cinnamon
1 apple (cored & chopped)
1 banana (sliced)
2 dates (chopped)
1 tablespoon flax meal (optional)
sprinkle of sprouted buckwheat groats (optional)
soy milk (optional)
Red Grapes

Cook the oatmeal in a large single-serving salad bowl until tender. I cook mine for 1.5 minutes in the microwave. Add cinnamon before or after cooking.

Add the apple, banana, dates, flax meal and sprinkle of buckwheat groats. This was a filling 'salad', so I didn't add the cup or so of red grapes that I would normally have.

Great salad for a cold morning!
