When people say they dread going on a diet, it's usually because the foods they think they have to eat will taste awful or be boring. But that's not true at all!
You have to make food fun, tasty and colorful. Yes, COLORFUL because your eyes have to approve it before the taste buds can appreciate it!
Here's an example of a salad I made using only fresh (not frozen or canned) ingredients.

-2 cups baby spinach
-1 cup kale
-1/2 red onion
-2 vine tomatoes
-3 bell peppers (different colors)
-8-10 mushrooms
