Grab-and-Go Salad Wraps

Grab-and-Go Salad Wraps

Salad wraps turn messy, boring vegetables into portable, nutrient-dense food. My teenage daughters (and friends) love them. The Ole wrap has 11 grams of fiber, 5 grams of protein and only 50 calories. Hummus or nut spread offer more protein and creamy richness, and the tin foil allows you to eat without a mess. These easy, healthy and satisfying snacks will change your relationship with salad.

Caramelized Onion Potato & Lentil Salad

Caramelized Onion Potato & Lentil Salad

This is not your grandma's potato salad. The caramelized onions taste like bacon, and the fresh dill and chives offer uncommon and mouth-watering flavor. The lentils provide enough protein to elevate this from side dish to the main course, and lowers the glycemic load. When I make this, I don't hear, "Is this all we're having?" Rather, "Is there more?" I triple this recipe for my large family to ensure leftovers.
