Main Dish: Salad

Well guess what? Eating out doesn't have to be heavy. Most of the restaurants nowadays have hearty healthy salads as main dish options. So when you are trying to cut back on those calories pick a salad that has protein such as chicken, beef, or fish. Also, make sure the dressing is not fattening sometimes most of the calories come from the dressing. For example the Caesar salad dressing is as high in calories as a burger. So why bothering having a salad? Light dressings include red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, or lemon-oil. 
I tried out Joe's American Bar & Grill on Newbury street in Boston and I had this mouth-watering Kale & Quinoa salad with toasted almonds, parmesan, and plump raisinsIf you ever get the chance to go to Boston you should definitely try this place out. They also have a great selection of cocktails and one hell of a clam chowder soup. 

Salad Heaven                
So next time you go out choose wisely and enjoy!

From my plate to yours,
