Only thing I feel is missing is some kind of carbohydrate. It’s a cabbage salad, a bean and carrot salad, blanched kale with feta cheese on top, a hardboiled egg, and canned tuna fillets in olive oil.

  1. Looks good.

    If you want to add a whole grain (for the carbohydrate l you said it could be missing), you could go with a side of brown rice, quinoa, barley, faro, etc or a slice of whole wheat bread or some whole grain crackers.

    Salads I prepped a couple of days ago.

    Cabbage salad:
    – chopped cabbage
    – olive oil
    – date vinegar
    – pomegranate molasses
    – roasted sunflower seeds

    Carrot and bean salad (kind of a variation on a recipe from the cookbook Zahav):
    – boiled the carrots with water just barely covering them until just barely soft
    – take out carrots and chopped them and add beans, save the carrot water and boil it until it reduces into a syrupy liquid

    Add to the carrots liquid:
    – olive oil
    – orange juice
    – date vinegar
    – cilantro
    – a little cumin

    Mix the liquid dressing with the carrots and beans! 🙂

  3. Looks absolutely delicious! I also don’t think it’s necessarily lacking carbs, both beans and carrots are pretty good sources, I wouldn’t worry about it always being a grain which I’m sure you have at other meals as well.
