some healthy thoughts

Are thoughts of Spring clothes causing you to regroup, get inspired and adopt new healthy habits? Here is a tasty, quick and inexpensive recipe that I like to whip up when I am pressed for time. It is based on a Turkish salad, with some of my own variations. The ingredients you will need are in bold.

Chop 3 pickling cucumbers and 2 tomatoes into cubes
Toss with balsamic vinegar and fresh ground black pepper
Cube a half cake of tofu, mix in
Add a half can of chickpeas, mix in
Let the mixture marinate for an hour at room temperature.
Toss together with an equal or greater amount of mesclun greens.
Eat!

It is so fresh and clean-tasting. You will feel great after you eat.
