Shrimp and Pine Nut Salad

I've been trying to eat more salads for lunch, and have been running out of ideas. This is one of my favorite go-to salads. The only problem is for me to fill up on a salad I have to have lots of ingredients and it has to be huge! I end up eating so much that I'm probably counter-acting the positive effects of eating a salad, but I'll keep trying to be healthy!


INGREDIENTS

Pine nuts
Shrimp
Asparagus
Avocado
Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Walnuts
Red Leaf Lettuce
Balsamic Vinegar
Red Wine Vinegar
Olive Oil
Pepper

I add however much of each ingredient I want depending on the day. The salad is super filling and it tastes so good. I grill the asparagus and shrimp with olive oil, pepper, and garlic salt. Then I mix in the rest of the ingredients and it's ready to go!

Pesto Mozzarella Panini

Panini's are one of my favorite foods. I don't know what it is about grilling a sandwich that makes it taste so much better, whatever it is, it makes me happy. Here is one of my favorite takes on one of my favorite foods...


INGREDIENTS:

Turkey
Tomato
Avocado
Spinach
Feta Cheese
Mozzarella Cheese
Pesto
Pepper
Basil

Dave's Killer Bread is always my bread of choice. I prefer the one in the green package. It's fresh, organic, healthy, and extremely delicious. 

Add Pesto to both sides of bread and then add your desired amount of each ingredient. I always use a thin slice of turkey. Throw it on your panini maker, and your done!

I also prefer to pair this panini with tomato bisque soup.
