Return to salad days

Out of all my Top 5 Single-girl Meals*, a bowl of greens (preferably red leaf lettuce) with feta, orange segments and chopped avocado must be the one I've consumed most. In fact, even just writing that makes my mouth water. Back in the day I even used to make a toasted seed-and-nut mixture to sprinkle overtop. There's something simultaneously virtuous and wicked about eating an enormous quantity of foods that are good for you.

As per usual, this week's version (also containing chick peas, grated carrots and celery) goes into my favourite plastic bowl which is light enough to hold in my lap while sitting on the couch watching Law & Order. It takes more than half an hour to chow through the entire thing, after which I'm totally full and only vaguely interested in a kitkat. And since I'm no longer a single girl, the Brit got his own bowlful too.
