Gypsy Lunch Salad

Yes salad again.  I eat one everyday so I have a large collection.  With salads I don't do recipes, just suggestions.  I like to eat salad for lunch.  In the past I always saw my sister having salad and always asked "how can you just eat salad?".  Now I prefer it.  Must be that age thing?  Our whole body changes when we get to this over 50 stage of life. 

I often put whatever I can find in my refrigerator in my salads.  Today I was thinking about how we get into such food routines.  You know habits of the same thing, same thing, same thing.  I think we need to mix things up from time to time.  Try something you can't get your brain around.  Just do it.

This salad is one of those.  Spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, lentils, cooked fingerling potatoes and a raw sweet scarlet turnip.  Then I topped it with my favorite salad dressing.  At the moment I am liking pumpkin oil and balsamic vinegar.  YUM. So rewarding.

So keep up the pace of the new year and do something good and above all different for your body.
