A Challenge

A challenge to, well, anyone who happens to read this (not many, I realize). Go to the grocery store. Buy copious amounts of romaine, baby spinach, and kale (preferably the pre-chopped kind, as this will save you time and effort), red onions, banana peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and any other vegetables you are even remotely interested in, such as cucumbers, peppers, etc. Buy a couple pounds of chicken and couple pounds of beef stew meat. If you don't have some already in your pantry, buy some extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
When you get home, put the chicken in the oven, spiced with whatever you want (Mrs. Dash makes a great line of seasonings, and the garlic and herb goes great on chicken), and cook the stew meat in a skillet with coconut oil (I like seasoning this with Mrs. Dash southwest chipotle). While those are cooking, chop any vegetables that need chopped. Then get out a huge bowl, or a couple smaller ones, and dump the greens in there and mix them up good. In a bottle, or whatever you deem necessary, mix up 3/4 cup EVOO, 1/4 of some combo of red wine vinegar and lemon juice, and throw in some parmesan, salt, and pepper. This is your dressing. If you want to add the onions and other fixings to your greens at this time, go ahead, otherwise do it when you eat it.
Your challenge - throw some of the meat on top of some of the greens & veggies, pour some of the dressing on it (less than you think you need), and eat this for lunch. Every day this week.
