A Big Bowl of Salad

I usually eat breakfast around eleven in the morning. It's basically close to lunch time, so what I have been eating lately are salads. I always eat a big bowl. It's filling, nutritious, and delicious. 

The ingredients can vary based on what I have at home or what I am in the mood for but these are the things that I usually put into the salad: apple, bell pepper, red radish, mini cucumber, celery, greens (lettuce, arugula or watercress), onion (red, white or sweet), cilantro (parsley or dill if no cilantro), canned tuna or canned salmon, dried cranberries, roasted sesame seeds or chia seeds, sea salt, squeeze of fresh lemon, extra virgin olive oil, and Hellmann's mayo. 

Sometimes I may add green cabbage and even a carrot. I can also add scallion and sprinkle some dried coconut as well. If I am in the mood for an egg I sometimes hard boil (or even soft boil) an egg and have it along with the salad. Gives me an added amount of protein and satisfies my cravings.
