Not everybody is heading out for a festive dinner on Valentines Day. A reader writes: My partner and I are on reducing diets, and will be spending Valentines Day at home. What can we make thats special, yet low in calories? A piece of poached or broiled salmonpink for Valentines Dayserved with a couple of steamed green veggies and salad, is always an easy choice. You can upgrade the salmon with shellfish: lobster, shrimp, scallops. But its just as easy to make this standard healthful dinner more special:
Or, buy a bag of specialty greens, such as:
You can splurge by tossing the berries in a teaspoon of Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur. You can have a cup of lemon sorbet for 130 calories (depending on brand), or half a cup, plus a berry garnish. Ingredients Per Serving |

For A Condiment On the side, you can serve a favorite condiment, like vinaigrette or flavored olive oil (basil, garlic, etc.). Or, choose an international condiment, like:
Preparation 1. PREPARE the lettuce leaves: wash and pat dry. Set aside. 2. WRAP the broccoli in damp paper towels and place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 1 minutes. 3. HEAT the rice according to package directions. 4. PLACE all ingredients except the salmon in a bowl, and toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste. 5. DOUBLE-stack the lettuce leaves so you have two cups of two leaves each. Spoon the vegetable mixture into the lettuce cups and serve immediately. Top with the salmon and garnish with the herbs and seeds. |
TIP OF THE DAY: A Festive, Low Calorie Dinner
