I love fresh fruits and vegetables and lately, in an effort to adapt a healthy lifestyle, i've started to bring fresh vegetable salad as my lunch at work. It usually consists of lettuce, red cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers and tuna flakes, dressed with vinaigrette. But I'm afraid that I'll grow tired of it sometime soon. Any ideas for a no-cook and no-brainer veggie salad recipe? Today I saw my boss eating a salad made of crab sticks, lettuce and sweet corn kernels. Maybe I'll try that sometime.
