Yesterday for dinner I visited a Hy-Vee to sample their salad bar. Since I have learned which foods are both healthy and low calorie I was able to create a salad which was quite a delicious meal. I don't know precisely how many calories it was - so I have conservatively picked 300 calories which is a high number. The greens of the salad were spinach leaves and they are very low in calorie. I added mushrooms, onions, tomatoes. I also added some imitation crab, some chicken, ham and turkey. There are all fairly low calorie foods. For salad dressing I used my zero calories salad dressing that I travel with. So even though, I had a large portion of salad, it hard to imagine that the calorie content would have exceeded 300 calories. Before I leave Madison, Wisconsin today, I intend to stop again and make another of these delicious salads.
