Pasta!

For July’s 400 Calorie meal, I’m comparing one of my husband’s favorite meals, spinach orzo salad. The two pictures are one of just the salad and one of a smaller portion of the salad with a salmon cake. Obviously, the salmon cake adds more protein and less carbs – the healthier meal. I wanted to compare the same dish to show a serving size of the orzo salad and the size that we often eat!

I added raw veggie strips to my meal (not pictured) to round out the nutrition. I often include raw veggies to up the nutrition of my meal without increasing the calories. It is a perfect addition to pasta meals. Give it a try!
