A snack

After work this morning I was hungry. I did eat my Special K bar and fruit snacks for breakfast, but I was still very hungry. I wanted to snack on something before lunch other then the chips sitting on top of my refrigerator. I was in the mood for broccoli, carrots and vegetable dip. I went to the store and found the veggie trays. The smallest tray contained carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, celery and veggie dip. The cost of the small tray was $9. I really didn't want to pay that much for a tray of two veggies that I don't even like. I'm not a fan of celery and cauliflower. I didn't want to buy the tray and waste the other veggies.

I started looking around for a small bag of broccoli and something caught me eye. It was a salad called broccoli delight. It had broccoli, shredded carrots, sunflower kernels and light ranch dressing inside a plastic package. I bought that along with a tub of light veggie dip and a bag of carrots and broccoli for later.

When I got home I peeled back the plastic and mixed my broccoli delight. I was surprised how very good it was. Who knew I would come to love broccoli and carrots as a snack? Growing up, I didn't like broccoli and I only liked carrots in coleslaw. I was so happy with myself that I chose to eat veggies instead of potato chips. What I really like is how it is a very basic salad, that can be made very easily. I see it as something I will eat quite frequently in the future.
