“Baked salmon and a mixed green Caesar salad. Mixed greens are spinach arugula and baby kale the Caesar is low fat plain Greek yogurt drissled with olive oil and seasoned with salt pepper and garlic. I ate the entire thing! Also featured was dirty rice leftovers. Im not sure what type of rice was used or any additional ingredients so Im airing on the side of caution with that. (A friend made it and gave the leftovers to me at a cookout I attended yesterday). It does however have navy/ pinto beans what appear to be collard greens/ mustard greens hot peppers and some sort of meat.”

“Your lunch looks absolutely amazing Great call going with the Greek yogurt dressing instead of traditional Caesar dressing is a much healthier alternative well done on that! As for the dirty rice leftovers its good to see you being cautious. It seems to have a mix of proteins and greens which aligns with our guidelines”
