similar called Eden salad it is with fresh spinch,chopped red 
cabbage,romaine and green leaf(or any combo you like) with mandarin 
oranges,chopped pecans,feta cheese, and chicken or shrimp. I use a 
raspberry vinagrette and olive oil dressing(mix according to taste)I 
copied it from an Amish restaurant in Sarasota.it is my fave ! I 
think the four smaller meals is fine.No rules against that and if it 
keeps you from bingeing later yeah !!! I personally save time one 
salads by buying it prewashed ready to eat. I am more apt to eat 
salad if its easy to make.For busy MOm like so many of on on NOS, 
quick and easy is the key to eating healthy for our families.Let us 
know how it goes with the 4 small meals. Jools
