Today's Healthy lunch

Hi all:

I just made a wonderful salad for lunch with a product I have never used before. It is called "Salad Sensation" and is a mix of fruit, seeds and herbs that I added to my salad instead of the usual seed mix that I use.  It contains sesame seeds, dried soybeans, sunflower seeds, dried herbs, bacon bits (yum) and dried zeresh.  Now, I had never heard of zeresh but I looked it up and apparently it comes from the Barberry bush and produces small red berries that are packed with vitamin C and is used in middle Eastern cooking.

Here is my salad.  Of course I used some leftover blackened chicken breast from last night's dinner and added that to a mixed green salad I made. I then threw on a handful of this salad sensation mix and topped it with a drizzle of olive oil (Jamie Oliver's EVOO) and a drizzle of rice wine vinegar.(sometimes I find balsamic vinegar is too heavy for a lighter meal).

This looks like large pieces of chicken but in reality, they are thin strips of chicken; not the whole breast.

Had to have a Tim's as well. ( coffee that is; black gold, Texas tea)

Here is what the salad mix looks like.  The good thing is that you can taste the tart zeresh but it has no added sugar, unlike the Craisins I often put on my salad.

On a side note, the bean below is a soybean, is it not? I just assumed that it was.  Please let me know if you know, that is what it is.

Bye for now.
