Eating healthy and delicious food in Florida

florida, originally uploaded by rosenthal_michele.

Sometimes simple and healthy is the best. It hits the spot, tastes great and makes you feel well. I get this delicious chopped salad from Luna Rosa cafe almost evreyday for lunch while we are in Florida. They make a delicious pizza, but that just makes me feel incredibly full and not exactly bathing suit ready while eating on the beach. This salad is full of delicious chopoped veggies, crunchy romaine (one of my favorite lettuces) , topped with cajun blackened jumbo fresh shrimp and tossed lightly in wonderful balsamic vinagrette. This spikes my energy level, leaves my happy and full and with major calories to eat a more "decadent" dinner later in the evening. I don't have their recipe, but I think we can all figure this one out. I'll give it a try, please feel free to let me know any other suggestions and additions you may have to take this to the next level.

DELRAY CHOPPED SALAD WITH CAJUN BLACKENED SHRIMP, IN A BALSAMIC VINAGRETTE:

1) chop up a crisp head of Romaine lettuce into small bites
2) chop up a few carrotts
3) chop up a cucumber, in small bites
4)chop of a red onion and some radicchio
5) add a handful of chickpeas

toss some jumbo shrimp in some olive oil and sprinkle with some Old Bay seasoning and grill until pink

toss salad with the vinagrette and top with your shrimp, I love this on the beach with a ice cold beer.
