Below I'll post a copy of a cheese guacamole I make myself,
and also a link to a stir-fry salad mix I keep in the fridge
as a staple and use, in one form or another, daily.

On the guacamole, it may not be suitable for road trips
because the avocado will eventually discolour. So for
"on-the-road" just leave out the avocado and add some
broccoli or extra celery (or any other suitable vege -
experiment) to the cheese base.

Cheesy Guacamole

1 moderate size ripe avocado.
¼ to 1/2 cup chopped celery
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped red capsicum (bell pepper)
1 chopped hot chili pepper (to your taste, or chili flakes)
½ minced clove of garlic
30g chopped cheddar cheese
30g light philadelphia or ricotta or cottage cheese
2 teaspoons grated parmesan
a large squeeze of lemon or lime juice
1/2 tsp minced/grated ginger (optional)
salt and pepper to taste

All ingredients are extremely approximate and dependant on
what's in the fridge. You must add the citrus if you use
avocado or it will discolour much too quickly.

Peel and seed avocado, mix all ingredients.
Adjust dryness with a little olive or peanut oil if
necessary until a smooth paste is obtained.

If using a food processor, add the solid vegetable
ingredients last and process briefly to retain some texture.

Serve with slices of carrot, celery or similar for dipping.
Low-fat crackers may be OK depending on your carb
requirements.

carbs, fat etc - not the faintest idea (low, and depends
how much you have and whether you use veges or crackers to
dip). Check your own BG at one and two hours, mine is
usually good after this.

Use it to fill the "gotta have something" gap between meals.
