-100 calories of cooked quinoa (about a half cup, I used two small prepackaged, frozen servings I had in freezer.)
-half a can of garbanzo beans (200cal)-a smallish tomato, seeded and chopped
-1/5 of a red pepper, chopped
-a handful of spinach, ribboned
-artichoke hearts from a jar, packed in water, about 10 quarters, sliced.
-juice from one lemon
-cumin (just shook it, but not too much, barely to taste.)
This made 3 large servings for us - I calculate it to be about 145cal per serving.
I also added about 35 cal of chopped avocado when I plated it. Really good with the flavors of the salad. Add at the end though or it will totally break down as you mix.
Thought later about taking a TBS of humus and thinning it out with the lemon juice to make a thicker dressing. I like straight lemon, but not everyone does... and it doesn't exactly hold the salad together at all.
