Lunch: Salad with balsamic dressing.
Dinner: Some baby carrots. Carrot Orange Salad from Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites. Harira (from the same book).
From the Eat-To-Live Yahoo group I asked the other group members if they had any ideas for how to make salad dressing thicker (without oil). One of the great suggestions was to blend in flax seeds. I never would have thought that this would thicken salad dressing, but it sure did! I added too much flaxseed, though. It thickens a lot more as it sits in the fridge after you're done blending. Look how thick the salad dressing got when I put it on my salad today.
Other suggestions for how to thicken salad dressing included adding xanthan gum or chia seeds. I would like to try those too.
Levi did not like the carrot orange salad. I think it's good. Not fantastic, but good.
I will eat the rest by myself.
The Harira was delicious. So nourishing. I will need to double this next time.
