Cobb Tuna Salad

Last month during the Epic Salad Challenge in the FASTer Way community, I modified the Cobb salad recipe to make it my own and I am in LOVE!

I love that the Cobb Salad was started by a man throwing a bunch of leftovers in a bowl. According to the internet, traditionally a Cobb salad comes loaded with high fat ingredients. If you are eating a low carb diet, like I do two times a week, then a Cobb salad is a great option.

Here's how I built my Cobb Tuna Salad:

1 1/2 cups leafy green lettuce

1 can tuna

2 scrambled eggs

2 slices bacon

1/4 avocado

4 cherry tomatoes

About 1 oz raspberries or strawberries

1/2 tbsp hemp seeds

**My ingredients are low FODMAP approved!

Super easy to build and super filling, this is one of my favorite meals on low carb day now.

Southwest Chopped Salad (with turkey breast)

Want to know how FASTer Way has changed me (besides losing over 13 inches)?

Take a look at this Southwest Chopped Salad!

The old me considered a salad a bowl full of romaine lettuce, some sharp cheddar cheese and Ranch dressing. Not only do I know how to fuel myself properly with all the macros, but now my body craves the micronutrient rainbow!!

I was inspired to make this salad by the Epic Salad Challenge we did in the FASTer Way VIP membership community in August. Like everyone else, I still don't eat EVERYTHING, so I tweaked the recipe we were given to make it my own.

Ingredients:

2 cups romaine and leafy green lettuce

1/2 cup black beans

1/2 cup sweet corn

1/4 cup yellow pepper

1/2 avocado (I like mine mashed)

4 oz taco seasoned shredded turkey breast

2 tbsp salsa as dressing

If you follow the FASTer Way, this recipe is best on regular macro days. See my macros below.

PS - I get asked frequently how I prepare my turkey breast. I buy a small Butterball turkey (I get mine at Safeway) and cook it in the crockpot. When it's done, I cut part into slices and shred the rest. For this recipe, I combine the shredded turkey breast in a skillet with taco seasoning and some water. Easy peasy!
