Thai Chop Chop Salad

This is so delicious and it's very reminiscent of my favorite Thai salad, Som tam.

2 Cups Red Cabbage
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 bunch spring onion (more or less to taste)
handful of cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup peanuts

1 Cup Hot Salsa
1 TBL Fish Sauce (or Soy Sauce)

Olympic Broccoli Salad

I just had the BEST weekend in Canada. While visiting my dear friends Kelli, Hans and Kristen, Kelli made THE best broccoli salad for our adventure to the Olympics. I just couldn't get enough of this mixture so I thought I'd dub it "Olympic Broccoli Salad" in honor of my Canadian friends and the Olympic-sized fun we had.

 Olympic Broccoli Salad
6-8 cups of broccoli chopped into bite size pieces
1 cup carrots ½ red onion or white onion (add more if you like it more oniony)
½ c sunflower seeds or other nuts chopped up
½ c craisins
2/3 C FF vanilla yogurt
2 tsp pepper

Mix all ingredients. You can also add any other veggie you would like, I have had it with califlower and peppers as well. DELISH! Best when served after chilling in the fridge, as the flavors blend together nicely.

Paradise Taco Salad

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Costco's Mango Salsa, so any time I get an excuse to use it, I'm a happy camper. Here is a SUPER easy and quick Taco Salad recipe that is sure to spice up those tastebuds!


Paradise Taco Salad
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Onion
2-3 tablespoons garlic
1 Can Cajun or Carribean Black Beans (or just use regular black beans, that's fine too)
1/2 package Shredded or Ground Bocca Hamburger
3 Cups Whole Grain Rice
1/2 Cup Taco Seasoning, or Taco Seasoning Packet


Taco Fixin's:
Lettuce or spinach
olives
tomatoes
Mango Salsa
FF sour cream
avocado
Non-Fat or Low-Fat Cheese (I personally just stick with the true fat cheese, but just use a lot less.  I like the taste better.  But to each their own...)


Saute onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat. Stir in Bocca meat until heated through.  Mix beans in and Taco Seasoning.


Serve on Lettuce or Spinach with rice and listed Taco Toppings.  YUM!
