Strawberry Salad with Gorgonzola Dressing





In my attempt to get healthier and, ahem, hopefully lose 10 pounds before we go to Africa in 8 weeks (is this too little time?), I made a healthy and rather unusual salad, at least I thought so. I found the recipe for this dressing in Vegetarian Times.

Gorgonzola Dressing:

1/2 cup fat free yogurt

1/4 cup gorgonzola cheese

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp vegetable oil

salt and pepper to taste

I made a bed of hydroponic lettuce and topped it with fresh strawberries. Then, I drizzled the gorgonzola dressing on top of the strawberries. I suppose you could add other ingredients, but I kept it simple.

That looks SO good! You can loose it. It's healthy to loose 2 lbs. a week, and since you have 8 weeks, you can definitly do it! Just stay away from starbucks unless you are getting something without all the whip cream and sugar!

Yum! Yes, 2 lbs a week is safe and completely manageable. Pump up your workouts and add some weight & resistance training to build your muscles. THat will also help while trekking around SA and going on safaris :)

Hey, do you watch America's next top model? They went to South Africa for the last half of the series, I thought of you. :)
