Creative, Easy Salad

I get easily bored with salads.  It's just not something I can eat over and over.  Here's a quick and easy salad that's a bit different than the typical lettuce creation.  Yes it uses lunch meat, and yes that's not quite paleo.  But the way I see it, we all have to make some concessions here and there.  Lunch meat is a convenient and cost-effective way to get protein in.  I do my best to select brands that are lowest in additives, preservatives, and other processed junk.  I used ham because that's what I happened to have in my fridge (left over from making ham and egg cups), but feel free to use whatever you have on hand - turkey, chicken, etc.

Paleo Eggplant Lasagna

Alright, so I've never cooked with eggplant; I've never even bought an eggplant before! But it's an excellent source of vitamins, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, so I took a risk and made a Paleo eggplant lasagna!  I adapted it from a recipe I found on Big Eats, Tiny Kitchen: Paleo Eggplant Lasagna
