Weeknights sometimes make it absolutely impossible for me to prepare and cook a proper meal for my family. And, in the summer who wants to a heavy meal or something steaming hot? Just made this salad last night and it served as the perfect, hearty-enough dish that kept me full yet didn’t make me feel stuffed. Pair with a fresh-baked baguette from the store (spread with roasted garlic for an insanely delish/low cal option) and then use all these saved calories for this banana bread; I just made this recipe on Tuesday and it’s been dessert every night since!
Ingredients
{feel free to sub out if you don’t like something; for ‘pretty factor’ just be sure to mix it up with color!}
Romaine lettuce
Sundried tomatoes
Yellow onions
Grilled chicken (Dice, cook in five minutes on the stove top and let cool while prepping the rest; or use leftovers from yesterday’s meal)
Avocado, diced (approx. half of an avocado per person)
Feta cheese
PS: I recognize there are some fats here with cheese and avocado. As long as you keep your portions in check these are good for you and importantly, will help keep you full longer.
Prepare
Prepare all ingredients, diced to a similar size, and arrange on a platter.
Use spinach or romaine as the base (the greener and leafier the better for you!).
Use dressing of your choice.
