Read MoreGround Pork Salad
This was a spur-of-the-moment salad! I had enough of my ground pork with sweet chili sauce left for a meal, but I also wanted a green salad, so I decided to combine them… and this was a real winner! Note: I sometimes add Asian-style cauliflower rice to my ground pork with sweet chili sauce, but…

Read MoreSausages and Bagged Salad
Air-fried English banger sausages (from Save-on-Foods in the Vancouver area) and a bagged salad that was on sale at Walmart. I discarded the croutons that came with the salad and only used half the dressing. I added a small tomato that needed using up and cut the sausages into bite-sized pieces. Yum! Low-carb meals are…
