When I am feeling a bit on the plump side I know I need to stock my refrigerator with ready made foods that will fill my slender waistline. "Thoughts become things, so choose the good ones". Less is more! Flavor is a big part of satisfaction for me. I need something that is going to dance on my palate and before I eat it, it has to visually excite me. So with those things in mind I share this calcium rich vegetable salad.
