MM's Healthy Low Carb Salad
I make this salad quite a bit and after I chopped and put the ingredients in a bowl I decided to take pics of the rest of the process. I do like my protein, but this one has no meat (heaven forbid). lol. Protein comes from the eggs.
First, chop up some raw veggies that you like. I used celery, cucumber, mushrooms, radishes, and red peppers, and threw in some cubed feta cheese into a bowl. I also added some Kalamata olives.. yum!

Next, I have two things boiling on the stove.. hard boiled eggs (ten mins after boiling) and my low carb pasta (rotini). The pasta has about 7 grams of carbs which is half decent for lunch. I try to eat under 50 grams of carbs a day, sometimes up to 100 g.
Eggs are a boiling. Make sure you boil them for ten mins or you will get soft boiled eggs which are a bit runny.

After the eggs and pasta are done, rinse them in a strainer under cold water for about five mins.

Peel your eggs.. Let me just say eggs are the best thing around....

Slice up those yummy eggs, and put them on top. https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2020/07/20.jpg
I use low carb Balsamic dressing.

Add spices to suit. I like Dill Weed, Garlic powder and Sea Salt.
Then it is time to enjoy this healthy tasty salad. If you have time you can chill this in the fridge for a bit and it tastes even better cold.
Bon Appetite!
