These huge, healthy super bowls are so satisfying your stomach will think you just swallowed a steak

Maureen Callahan, R.D.

Salads typically come in one of two sorry forms: as wimpy rabbit food that leaves you ransacking your bag for a half-eaten Milky Way, or as a covert fat bomb that harbors more calories than a half-pint of strawberry Häagen- Dazs (520 calories and 48 grams of fat in a Greek salad at Panera? WTF?). But we’ve come up with six summer salads that boast a highly coveted troika: They’re delicious, filling, and diet-friendly. Brimming with lean meat, fiber-rich beans, mood-boosting grains, and—yum—cheese, they deserve a label unheard of in the salad world: comfort food. Are they hard to make? Not if you can open a bag of shredded carrots.

Time Saving Tips: Peeling shrimp is a bit tedious, so if you can buy your shrimp already peeled,
go for it. If not, if you peeled them the night before or in the morning, it would speed up meal
preparation. You could also use bottled, minced garlic.

Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil 3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup white wine 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon oregano, dried 1 pound shrimp large (peeled and deveined)

8 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked 2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, petite diced, drained

Directions
