Choosing high protein salad for your lunch is a healthful decision to make as a bodybuilder. I prepare this potent salad boats for myself when I want to be little creative with my food. Cucumbers are a wonderful salad ingredient for summer, rich in fiber, vitamin and contain very few calories. It is a very filling ingredient and curbs the craving for more carbohydrate rich food. So the recipe is also good for weight loss. These good looking salad boats are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals.

I like to add nuts (optional) in the stuffing to bring the crunch factor in my salad avoid it as it will increase the fat content of the recipe.
