After the gorgeous and eternally young Christie Brinkley recently shared with People magazine that she snacks on melon and walnuts and eats beans and veggies for lunch and dinner, I was compelled to do the same. Do I expect to wake up one day looking like Christie? Of course not. But I love that the model, who’s been a vegetarian since the age of 13, is extremely health conscious and opted to share her ‘secrets’ with us. Besides, if it’s good enough for her, it’s certainly good enough for me. 

So, in an effort to include more beans and veggies into my meals, I’ve been going through old recipes and coming up with some clean and simple new ones–like this Arugula, Lentil, and Sweet Potato Salad. Not only is this salad extremely tasty, it’s also unbelievably easy to throw together, making it the perfect on-the-go meal. I’ve taken it to work with me nearly every day for the last week and it always leaves me feeling full and satisfied. I think Christie must be on to something…
