Protein power.
When I’ve scoffed more than my fair share of pasta or guzzled too much vino, I like getting back in to clean eating, straight living, gym attending mode. At least for a little while.
Fast, tasty, protein rich salads like this are a great meal choice when I’m being good, and the way I see it the more of these little salads I squeeze in, the less naughty I feel when I do treat myself. Pass the sourdough and salty butter I say.
