My roommates will attest to this, I'm either starving (especially after my late day workout) or completely full.

When the former happens, there is nothing better than throwing a whole whack of colourful veggies and some lean protein on a plate, crumbling some beautiful goat feta on the top and zesting it with a splash of lemon juice. It's low-fat, low-carb and super high-protein. Plus, it's a one-dish, no clean-up dinner that should take you, unless you're a spaz, no more than 5 minutes flat.

  • large handful baby spinach
  • 5 oz lox (smoked salmon)
  • 6 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 3 baby beets, sliced in quarters*
  • 1 oz (size of a walnut) low-fat feta cheese**
  • squeeze of lemon
  • salt and pepper
Layer ingredients in order and splash on the oil and lemon - season to taste. Voila!

* Make sure to use the unsweetened beets - lots of hidden sugar in such items!
** I find the feta has enough creaminess to compensate for salad dressing, but you can always add some good, flavourful olive oil if you so desire.
