I’ll call it a “Layer Salad Cup” until I find the proper name for this, but this is what it looks like. I especially liked this image because of how the plastic fork was incorporated into the meal.

I could see a Mexican themed cup with the following or combinations of the following items:

• Cilantro
• Green Chilis
• Jalapeno
• Avocado
• Corn
• Tomato
• Onion
• Sweet Bell Pepper
• Romaine Lettuce
• Sour Cream
• Black Bean Hummus
• Guacamole
• Cornbread (crumbled)

Or how about an entirely different route:

• Hummus
• Black Bean Hummus
• Smoked Oysters
• Onion
• Tomato
• Carrots
• Olives
• Sweet Bell Pepper

I like the flavor of the following dressing and I have made it a couple of times, but I’m not sure of how it actually affects my weight & blood sugar.
