My Healthy (and Cheap) Local Lunch

Boy do I feel healthy today! I woke up and went to my yoga class, and then headed down to the Union Square Greenmarket. I was planning on stocking up on tons of produce, chicken, and bacon for the week, but my plans were put to a halt when I tried to take out money and found my account empty. All I had on me was $20, enough to get a few basics and enough for lunch. I found this to be a blessing in disguise, because I had to be very careful with what I selected. I ended up buying some green beans, fresh dill, half a dozen eggs, bread (made with local wheat), grape tomatoes, and goats milk yogurt. For lunch I hardboiled two of the eggs and cooked the green beans. I sliced the grape tomatoes (sooo sweet and delicious) in half. I took a third egg and separated the yolk from the white, and saved the white for a later use. I might make a scrambled egg white or something. I mix the egg yolk with mustard and some olive oil to make a mayonnaise. I seasoned it with some vinegar and threw in some chopped dill. My plate was absolutely beautiful- green beans, chopped up hardboiled eggs, sliced tomatoes, all covered with a silky dill mayonnaise sauce. That meal did not add up to more than $5, and it was all from the market. And the best part about it is that I feel so healthy and good about my body afterwards. I attached a photo of my lunch here so that you can see how simple it is to prepare a healthy, inexpensive market lunch.
