Help me get fat into a salad

Recommended Posts

So we are having salad for dinner tonight.  I love it as a meal and I am sorted when it comes to protein & veg but I am not sure about getting enough fat into it.  I will have avocado, mayo on the side and mayo on the cold cooked baby potatoes.  I cannot abide olives so they are not an option.

 

Ideas please?

a) Sounds like adequate fat already, as mentioned above.

 

B) Other fat sources I use on my lunch salads - maybe for future reference? A few chopped nuts or coconut flakes; peppers and tomatoes which I've roasted and stored in the fridge in olive oil (store-bought often have sugar); bacon, chorizo or similar (if you can find compliant versions).

Bacon would count as fat and a little protein. Of course making sure it is sugar and other nasty free.

 

I would eat it as planned. Assuming you have at least a palm sized serving of protein it sounds like you have met the template so this meal should be fine. If it doesn't sustain you long enough than play with the portions the next time.

Sounds delicious to me!

 

I usually eat the same salads over and over again, and I almost always dress with 2 T. of extra-virgin olive oil and 1 T. of either lemon or lime juice. I do like salads with a little hint of sweetness from fruit and tomorrow I'm going to put blueberries and pecans on my lunch salad.
