Recipe - Tinker Toy Salad

Here's one of the healthy food recipes I've incorporated into my diet recently. The layout and approximate nutritional breakdown are from my "My Fitness Pal" page and the original recipe was from my fabulous friend Kim. I keep a bin of this in the fridge and add it to dinner or eat it for lunch. The ingredients change with availability and right now there's no blueberries in the bin but there are a few handfuls of cranberries. There's also no watercress and the cabbage is both plentiful and green. I'm not too hung up on exact calorie count, the goal is just to eat real food in reasonable amounts and avoid bullshit, which this does nicely. 


Now, why tinker toy salad, you may ask. First time I made this my husband (who believes all food is brown) looked across the table at me and asked what I was eating. Smart ass that I am, I asked what it looked like and he truthfully said it looked like children's toys. Hence the name.
