Notes
- This is a really versatile recipe that will go with any number of protein options and is suitable for the pre-op VLCD diet.
- Make more and store single serves of the salad ingredients in a jar in the fridge – just don’t add the dressing until the last minute so it doesn’t go soggy!
- Make this into more of a traditional Greek salad by adding a good quality Greek fetta
- If you’re feeding others, 2-3 bariatric serves are equal to one regular, non-sleeved serve. Use the slider above to adjust the serving sizes you need.
