For those of you who may not know, Camilla and I are in the middle of training for Tough Mudder. Tough Mudder is a half marathon, obstacle course and ohh yeah…it’s probably the toughest event on the planet. To help keep myself energized for my pre-mudder training I wanted to find a healthy alternative to the traditional carb based meal. This is an easy and quick salad, that is packed with nutrients, healthy fats and has great flavor.
INGREDIENTS
your choice of salad (I use a mixed green)
1/4 pound of turkey sandwich meat (you’ll want to make sure you select one that is Paleo, so no nitrates or preservatives)
1/2 tomato
1/2 avocado
1/2 lime
1/4 teaspoon salt
RECIPE
Place a bed of washed salad on a plate.
Dice your tomato, avocado and turkey; then place on top of salad.
Squeeze half a lime over salad and top with salt.
It’s that easy and it will keep you fueled during your workouts. Here’s to getting fit!

This recipe sounds both healthy and yummy. The only thing I might do differently is to cook my own turkey.
Thanks for sharing Isabel! Cooking your own turkey would be ideal and delicious. However if you’re in a pinch for time, healthy lunch meat will work.
