Just had this.
One of my go to meals:

1/2 avocado , mashed
20-25 grams of protein: seitan
(not gluten free, so could put similar amount tofu in toaster oven to dry out, shred it and use that instead.
that's not soy free, so could use a cup of garabanzos, lightly mashed
ok ok. could use tuna fish too. )
1 tbsp chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped celery
juice 1/2 lime.

mix the above together.

place 10 grape tomatoes cut in half upside down on top of 2 cups of salad greens (I love arugula, arugula and spinach combo is great too)

turn avocado mixture on top of the salad greens.

top with chopped scallion.

enjoy

On another note. Yes another vaccine. RSV is miserable as my patients who have had it can attest. Vaccine sounds like a godsend and I got one. However, here is latest reporting so hold off until more information:
