Day 92 - The Lazy Gourmet...

It feels like an eternity since I last posted here. between work and training for a marathon, 2011 wasn’t really a good time to have a second job, which is what this site amounts to.

Having said that, I had plans to visit a good friend, and wondered what to bring.  Being another runner, healthy eating was on the menu, but I wasn’t keen on spending a lot of time on it.  These kinds of restrictions are usually the kind of thing that makes me the most creative, and this time was no different.  It seems like a no brainer,  low on time, need high nutrition, what else is there to do.

My plan was to to combine all the nutrition one needs in a meal, all at once, and by making it a salad, all you’re doing is chopping things up.  The only time consuming part, is the preparation of the tofu, which you can be doing while you chop, so in a sense, when you’re done chopping, so is everything else!
This is another addition to what I’m now calling Lazy Gourmet meals.  It’s a pretty looking, tasty and nutritious dish that combines everything you need.  The fruit content even guarantees that you’re getting your desert serving as well!

Hope you get a chance to try this, because it’s a keeper.  I present to you Kale and Quinoa Salad...



Enjoy
