Salad in Seconds
IntoFit | January 15th, 2010 | Recipes and Meal Ideas | 2 Comments »
So often I hear the complaint that salad takes too much time to preare. And if you don’t have dressing in the house, then forget it. We’ll I think I solved that problem today. This is the easiest, yummiest salad and it takes seconds. Here is what you do:
- Open a bag of lettuce. I like to use the “American Style” type for this salad. You know, it’s got Iceberg lettuce in it with cabbage and carrot slices.
- Cut up some Feta and sprinkle it on. If you have tomatoes in your house, great!
- Pour a little sprinkle of olive oil, a big squirt of lemon juice and a dash of dried oregano on your salad.
- VOILA!
*Nutritional Information. 2 cups salad. 1/2 tsp olive oil. 1 ounce regular Feta.

I don’t mean to sound negative… But a teeny tiny HALF teaspoon of oil?? Is that supposed to be enough for a meal sized salad?
You don’t sound negative at all! In fact I totally understand your concern. But all you really need is 1/2tsp tsp 1 tsp of olive oil. You just have to toss it really well. Plus, it is really the lemon juice and oregano (along with the feta) that gives this salad it’s yummy taste. The oil simply cuts the tang of the lemon.
The thing with olive oil is that YES- it is healthy – but too much of it can turn a healthy fat into a not so healthy one. 1 tsp of olive oil has 40 calories and 4.5 grams of fat. 1 Tbsp of olive oil has 120 calories and 13.5 grams of fat- see how easily it can get away from you. Try the salad and go light on the oil, let me know what you think!
