Jackie Corser: Salads are an easy, healthy meal for Lent

2023-04-17 10:30:17 By : Mr. Gareth Ho

As we continue on the food journey during Lent, fresh salads, fruits and soups are some great ways of staying with lighter eating and less calories during this special time of year. This week I will feature salads, and in the next few weeks, fruit, soups and desert selections will be featured. All of the recipes are easy, and the servings can be increased for one or a group of guests by doubling or tripling the recipes (2x, 3x, etc.).

At least two times a week our family enjoys a salad dinner with soup and a side of bread or breadsticks. During this special time, celebrating our bodies and filling them with nutritious meal items keep our mind focused and our heart pointed in the right direction. Shelled Green Peas
