This is a great lunch, especially when I am trying to slim down for competition without cutting out essential vitamins and minerals. This salad will fill you up and keep you on track for a skinnier waste line.

| Tear up 3-4 leafs of green leaf lettuce ( I prefer it over iceberg, plus it is much healthier for you!) |
 |
| Chop up and add carrots, apples, almonds and craisins |
 |
Dice up some sweet potato and put on a
plate in the microwave for 2-3 mins then place
on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown,
flip pieces and repeat broiling.
or put on a baking sheet in the oven at 400 degrees
for about 5 mins, until they are cooked through,
then broil until browned (on both sides).

Let sweet potatoes cool or eat warm on the salad and
sprinkle on some cubed cheese or add some
cooked chicken breast pieces, or lunch meat for a healthy
lunch full of vitamins, mineral, protein,
and antioxidants!

Add your favorite dressings, I use a small amount of light balsamic or Asian dressing on mine. If you are watching your weight pay attention to the fat content and calories in salad dressings!
with the broiled sweet potatoes on top, for dressing all you need is a squeeze of fresh lime and a sprinkle of sea salt - you won't even miss the fat that comes with bottled dressing!
