Strawberry & Blackberry Salad

Due to my diabetes, recently I decided that it is time to start eating more salads. Salads are so versatile with what you can add to them. There are all sorts of proteins, fruits, veggies, and a large combination of healthy toppings to choose from. 

During the summer, I usually only make salads. It helps keep the house cooler since the stove/oven isn't on. It also is light enough meal. Usually in the summer months, if I eat a regular meal after a long day in the sun, I have a bad night with a tummy ache. 

But this change is quite refreshing even in the middle of the winter. 

I brought this for lunch today. 

The salad contains:

5 strawberries

5 blackberries

2 large crimini mushrooms

1/4 peeled cucumber

1 roma tomato

2 cups baby spinach

0.5 oz smokehouse onion cheese

0.5 oz fontana cheese

2 t chia & hemp seed mix

I'm pretty excited to eat this! Lately I'm craving veggies and fruit. It's definitely a nice change to processed meats and bread. 

Enjoy!
