Small Spinach Salad

I felt like a lunch addendum today. I was briefly tempted to get a bag of chips, probably Sun Chips, but it's such a fleeting and ultimately nonfilling experience. I hit the salad bar with a small-size tray.



It's a bed of spinach, with beets, onions, tomato slices, banana peppers and pepperoncini, about 1/4 of a hard-boiled egg, a sprinkle of cheese, a small spoonful of sunflower seed kernels, and maybe a heaping tablespoon of tuna salad. This place doesn't seem to make their tuna salad too mayonnaisey, fortunately.

I have to imagine the dressing is full-fat Italian, although I'm not seeing any of those characteristic fat beads. Perhaps all the fat floats to the top with those spigot things, and it's pulling up the less fatty stuff from the bottom. I figure it's about a tablespoon.

It's just got to be somewhere between 200 and 250 calories, although I recognize I tend to overestimate.

I'll go with 225.
