Sweet Mediterranean Salad

One of the things I loved most about being in Spain was the food.  Its not a big secret that I looooooooove food (I mean look at the name of the blog right).  The food was exquisite all the way around; fresh, seasoned well, cooked to perfection, and filling beyond explanation.  While we were there I took advantage of the salads and they all left me more than satisfied.  They were sweet and a little tangy but just enough to make your taste buds pop.  YUM!  

So today I was in the mood for something quick and tasty for lunch since we are having an all day movie day!  On the list-

• The Dark Night
• Journey to the Center of the Earth 2 (on right now)
• Star Trek
• The Wrath of the Titans
• The Woman in Black (Feature Presentation of course)

In the middle of all this movieness, I had to jump up and make lunch for TheHubby (he had brats and fries, jerk) and myself.  Enter delicious Salad!! I had Spain on my mind and came up with this beauty.

Sweet Mediterranean Salad

2 cups Romaine

4 sun dried tomatoes cut into fourths

1/2 6" cucumber

5 croutons

1 slice red onion, chopped

2 T Feta Cheese

1/2 T slivered almonds

1/2 T dried cranberries

Dressing of choice.  I used Poppy seed.  Just a bit though because it isnt the MOST healthy dressing out there!

1- MIX ALL TOGETHER!! Simple right!

And as promised, a few pictures from our date night!  I can really see the difference in my body.  It always feels good to see your hard work paying off! Last night we went to Nando's and I had a salad and  3 signature chicken wings.  I wanted 5 wings and some fries, but I made a better decision.
