Purple Tinted Glasses

I’m back on Core for Weight Watchers this week. I can’t seem to keep track of points lately.

I tend to get a lot of compliments on my food when I’m in my Weight Watchers meetings, mainly on my salads. Everyone’s always asking me what I put in it. Well, here we go. I might not be able to name them all, but I’ll start with this week’s. If I can find a working camera, I’ll take a picture one day when I make it on an actual plate and it looks all cook-book-food-prepared. Too bad I skipped my meeting today. This one sure was purtty.

Pea-Licious Crunch
Romaine Lettuce mix (with carrots and purple cabbage shreds)
Baby Tomatoes
Kraft No Fat Cheddar and No Fat Mozzarella (1/2 cup total)
Diced Avacado (1/2)
Alphalpha Sprouts
Baby Peas (From a can, about 1/3)
Red Apples (diced, skinned - about half = “crunch”)
Grapes (a handful for sweet)
Newman’s Own Light Sesame Ginger Dressing (2tbs)

Uses a total of 1 of your 35 allowance points for the week (because of the dressing). It’s so close to zero, it’s almost sickening. You can switch out the dressing for one of those spray balsamic vinegar no fat dressings for a similar taste, or use any fat free dressing for that matter and make the meal completely core.

Actually, now that I think about it, I’ll be skating at practice tonight, so I’ll probably earn that 1 point back, along with 3 more to play around with. Yum :P
