Eggless Egg Salad
2016-07-14 14:49:39
Serves 8
Notice we didn't use the word 'Tofu'! But that's what it is. Really, ya can't tell....seriously. The tumeric helps make it yellow like traditional egg salad and is also a powerful antioxidant spice with mild flavor you won't notice.

- 1 tablespoon dressing of your choice
- 1/3-1/2 cup raw veggies like diced tomato, cucumber, red onion, the list is endless
- 1/4 c of starch (such as brown rice, quinoa, corn, or beans)
- 3 oz protein (chicken, turkey, tuna)
- 1/2 lettuce or spinach
- Start with a clean mason jar, or better yet, a jelly jar or 8 oz mason jar for bariatric-sized salad
- You want to layer your ingredients. First layer with the dressing then layer with hard vegetables, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, on the bottom. Then add cooked whole grain like quinoa or brown rice.
- Next, add protein such as chicken or tuna.
- Lastly, top with the protein of your choice and any “dry ingredients” such as greens (spinach, lettuce).
- Store in the fridge until you’re ready to eat. It is easy to make a bunch at a time. Then, shake, shake, shake and ENJOY or pour into a bowl.

We all agreed this was a chicken salad to die for- super creamy, nothing lost in the absence of mayonnaise, and so fresh tasting with the dill, onions, and lemon zest

Mason Jar Burritos
2016-05-12 12:28:30
Serves 12
Mason Jar meals are super for bariatrics. The idea is to make up 5 on Sundays, and grab and go lunch for the week. The stacking in a jar is pretty, and a great way to portion out protein, vegies, dressing, and yumminess. Smaller jelly jars work better for bariatric portions. Thanks to Cindy for sharing this with PostOp Living last night.
