Balance Your Own PlateOne of my favorite concepts for healthy eating is to balance your plate. Fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables and the other half with high-fiber carbohydrate and healthy protein or fat.To balance my plate I served this Quinoa, Salmon and Oregano Zucchini with an arugula and tomato salad because this recipe is a bit light on veggies. If you'd like this to be a stand alone meal or if you are trying to eat more vegetables or if you are trying to lose weight, use 3 zucchinis and add 2 bell peppers. If you are eating a higher protein and lower carbohydrate diet, use more vegetables and 2 cans of salmon. If you are active and eating a higher carbohydrate diet, use the whole can of white beans. By increasing and decreasing the different components of this meal, you can adjust it to meet your own nutritional needs.Nutrition DetailsGluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan (use tofu cubes instead of salmon)    Material on this blog is provided for informational purposes only.
