The Nutrition Survival Kit Eating on the RunIt's interesting that most people, when tasked with bringing a salad to a potluck, inevitably bring either a pasta salad or a potato salad. As runners, we need to have a good amount of carbohydrates in our diet, but if you stop and think about it, when have we ever had trouble finding enough carbs? It's the fibrous veggies that we need more of. For me, a salad is the perfect way to be sure I am getting enough fibre, greens (antioxidants, iron, etc.) and my veggie portions. In fact, it is very rare at our family table to not include a green salad of some sort. Whether we are barbequing or roasting, or even settling in for one of our "cowboy dinners" (one of our son's favourites), we always seem to have a salad at the table. In fact, the biggest problem I have is trying to think of which recipe to offer up: there are so many! But as of late, I get requests for a particular salad that I came up with this spring. And by the way, if it takes you longer than three minutes to assemble a salad, it is WAY too complicated. Here is my quick and easy salad recipe that you can make anytime.
