I promised I would do a post-Christmas recipe series which would feature some delicious low-calorie meal options. This one is a Healthy Crunchy Asian Pork Salad!
The first low calorie recipe was from Michelle Bridges “No Excuses” Cookbook, Indian Spiced Chicken.
Today’s offering is a huge, tasty dish that I am sure you will love! It is filling, healthy, low fat, low carb and gluten free.
With a total calorie count of a tiny 325 calories per serving.
Let me know what you think.
