Dietitian’s tip

All non-starchy vegetables, so this barely moves blood sugar - a great side or light, crunchy lunch.

Ingredients

  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, diced
  • 10 kalamata olives, halved
  • 2 handfuls salad greens, chopped
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • drizzle of olive oil

From your pantry: olive-oil.

Method

  1. 01

    Chop the cucumber, onion, olives, and greens.

  2. 02

    Toss together with lemon juice and olive oil.

Dietitian’s notes

  • Rinse the olives to trim some brine sodium before chopping.
  • Add a scoop of hummus or lentils to turn it into a fuller meal.

Make it yours

Make it a meal

Fold in cooked lentils or a chopped hard-boiled egg for protein.
