Today we visit the Mediterranean to go to my Greek brethren for culinary inspiration. The theme today is volumetrics; using high volume low calorie food to leave us feeling satiated. The result? A jumbo greek salad. Simple, elegant, and most of all tasty- this salad will leave you saying all kinds of weird jargon in Greek. TIKANIS!
Ingredients
150 gram Chicken Breast
1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
30 gram crumbled Goat’s Feta
Ionized sea salt
¼ Spanish Onion
¼ Red Bell pepper
Crap Load of Spinach
Black Pepper
Approximate calories: 380 (This is a Chef Buff sized portion, adjust accordingly). Watch the onion breathe don’t blame me if you make a couple of these a day- it makes a great lunch OR breakfast!
What variations do you guys use? Comment below!
