PLEASE NOTE: Only the protein, veg, bread and fat exchanges
are indicated each day. The milk exchange and beverages remain
the same as in the Week 1 booklet. Use thin slices of bread that
are 1/2 ounce each. Therefore, 2 slices provide 1 bread exchange.
Cottage cheese may perish easily. Therefore, if refrigeration
is not available at your workplace, you may substitute 2 ounces
diced cooked chicken or turkey.

| 175.1 | Pasta salads anyone? | USCTR2::HEDE | Tue Aug 01 1989 09:18 | 9 | |
Does anyone have any low-calorie recipes for pasta-salads?
I am interested in oil-type dressings. I suspect that low-cal italian
dressing can be substituted for some of the oils.
Thanks

| 175.3 | salad suggestions requested? | TLE::TLE::D_CARROLL | A woman full of fire | Wed Oct 02 1991 19:08 | 13 |
I'm getting *really* bored of the same old salads I have been bringing
to work every day...lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, mushrooms,
occasionally zuchini or summer squash, peans, kidney beans, baco-bits
(never thought I'd touch 'em but when you get *really* bored you try
weird things - they're good!), artichoke hearts, fresh basil, chick
peas or spinach. Any other suggestions for lo-cal (that is, meat,
cheese, eggs, etc are out) for things to put in salads?
And while I'm here, I *finally* discovered a reduced-cal bleu cheese
dressing that *tastes like blue cheese*. It's Walden Farms brand, and
i got it at the Purity Supreme in Nashua.
D!

A few whole jalapenos would make that salad *really* exciting ;-)

| 175.5 | Here's a few (alright, a lot of) ideas | RANGER::PESENTI | Only messages can be dragged | Thu Oct 03 1991 14:14 | 33 |
I personally put very lean poached chicken in the same calorie group as the chickpeas and beans. But if you don't want the meat... Try other fresh herbs, like rosemary or sage. I also toss in some fresh minced cilantro (!!!) and flat leaf parsely. Also, home made roasted red peppers (you can get good deals on them now) are superb! They add a touch of sweetness to the salad. How about a "pasta primavera" salad. You could use real spaghetti, or spaghetti squash. With chilled steamed veggies like broccoli, zucchini, peppers, etc. With a low cal italian salad dressing (I happen to like WW Caesar). Also, a spoonful of homemade salsa adds a zing, or a few shots of tobasco added directly to the bottle of dressing! Since you don't mind grains, how about making tabouleh (bulgur wheat). I use the Near East package mix without the oil, adding instead a touch of WW Caesar. Also, their Wheat Pilaf (made w/o fat) can be chilled and mixed with salad dressing and veggies. Either of these grain dishes can be used as the base for the salad, or can be an additive (i.e. a scoop on the side or on top) to a garden salad. Also, try adding other traditionally hot veggies, like corn or peas, or brussel sprouts by precooking them and chilling. Then there are the sprouts... Many markets have mixed bean sprouts that have a variety of flavors, more than the standard mung bean or alfalfa sprouts. Then you can try fruits. Some melon, or grated apple, or pineapple, etc. each adds a touch of sweet or tart. | |||||
| 175.6 | yeah! | TLE::TLE::D_CARROLL | A woman full of fire | Thu Oct 03 1991 17:16 | 4 |
What great ideas, JP! Especially wheat pilaf/bulgar/etc. Couscous
would work too, I bet! Thanks for the ideas!
