Simple healthy workday lunch

Hi all,

I'm posting a simple recipe for all the working girls out there to bring as lunch. The inspiration for this salad is Corner Bakery's spinach sweet crisp salad. After trying it a bunch of times I thought why not make this at home; it's easy, healthy, and would save money.

So here you go:)



Ingredients:

1/2 bag of spring mix

1 clementine peeled and halved

5 strawberries quartered

10 grapes halved

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1 raisin pecan sweet crisp broken into pieces

crumbled goat cheese

raspberry vinaigrette dressing


Of course you can alter the ingredients according to your taste. What I did was first lay the spring mix on the bottom of my lunch box and then layer the fruit on the top. That way the fruit wouldn't sink to the bottom. Then I sprinkled goat cheese on the top. I packed the sweet crisps and the dressing separately so it wouldn't get soggy. During my lunch break I just added everything together and mixed well. It was delicious:)  

I bought raisin pecan sweet crisps from Corner Bakery and they are amazing. If you cannot find them maybe you can substitute a crumbled crunchy oatmeal raisin cookie for it? Or you can use some kinda honey roasted nuts instead? Experiment girls, experiment.

I hope you guys try this low cal, tasty, simple dish and if you did, let me know what you think:)
