FML: Mediterranean Taco Salad

So, yesterday was kind of crappy. A guy sent me a really rude message on OKCupid because I told him I wasn't interested in meeting him. He was actually angry at me for responding to his initial message because I didn't give him my phone number when he sent me his second message. Ugh. I don't know why this upset me so much, but it did.

I really don't think I can win sometimes. I've had a guy send me a nasty message for not responding to his message (when I wasn't interested) and now I've had a nasty message for responding to someone. I don't think I was flirtatious or anything; I simply responded to his message because it was interesting. Then I looked at his profile and realized I was not interested. This guy was way too forward, anyway. He basically invited me over to his place in his first message and asked for my number in the second. The underlying message: you have no business being on a dating website or responding to messages if you

The occasion called for Willpower and Grace (barefoot cardio involving a couple hundred squats/lunges... totally great) and something yummy. I can't force you to take a cardio class, but I can give you the recipe for my Mediterannean-inspired Taco Salad. It features yumminess from the general region. It's not 100% healthy, but it's pretty good. I've been undergoing the whole exercising thing and overdoing the whole eating thing lately (see Thank God I'm Fluffy), so I stuck to direct portion control.

Start with:
A bet of lettuce or other delicious greens. Pick something fairly mild.

Top with:
1 serving of Pita Chips
1 serving of hummus (I used a half-teaspoon and dropped blobs all over)
1 serving of prepared tabouli salad (made with tomatoes and cucumbers)
1/2 serving of feta (I used the whole serving of low-fat and it was way too much salt)
a drizzle of tzatziki (I made my own with granulated garlic, Sour Supreme!, Veganaise, cider vinegar, dill, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of sugar... it was very loosely based on the Skinny Bitch in the Kitch recipe)

I forgot to add the olives and hot sauce that I intended to use. :-( Nonetheless, it was very yummy.
