Broccoli Slaw Wraps
(Gilda)
Lightly spray skillet with Pam.
Add 3oz broccoli slaw
Stir in 1 teaspoon each Walden Farms Zero Calorie apricot marmalade and
orange marmalade that you mix with about 2
teaspoons Braggs
Cover and cook on low heat for about 3 -5 minutes. Watch so it doesn't
burn--you can add a teaspoon or so of water if you need.
Prepare 2 or 3 large lettuce leaves (cut out the tough rib if necessary). Make
veggie wraps with the broccoli slaw--add a little more of the marmalade mixture
if you like. Makes 2 or 3 wraps.
Count it as 4oz of your veggie allowance. It's a great mid-day treat.
Janet's Salad
Janet says: "Here it is - the best salad in the world. I eat it every single day (except milk days)"
12-15 grape tomatoes, halved
2 scallions, chopped, or a couple of slices red onion, diced
1 avocado, peeled, seeded & diced
1/2 lime
Field greens or other salad greens of your choice
Put tomatoes, scallions & avocado in
a bowl. Squeeze 1/2 lime over it. Mix well.
Season: I use McCormick's sea salt/garlic grinder, McCormick's
pepper/garlic grinder, & dry minced garlic.
Mix very well, put greens on top, stir from bottom up, adding more greens as
they mix in & mush down.

Jicama and Sweet Red Pepper Salad
Jicama
is a large root vegetable with a crunchy texture (like water chestnuts)
and a sweet and nutty taste. 
One of its greatest attributes is that when marinated, jicama
readily accepts the flavors of the marinade, which gives it an added dimension. Jimica can usually be found in the
produce/vegetable section of the grocery store.
