    Fresh Express Sweet Butter lettuce, snap peas, grilled chicken & tomato w/Wish Bone's fat free italian. Sometimes I will use Paul Newman's Light Honey Mustard dressing. YUM :)

    My favorite salad is tomato and cucumber.

    Quarter 1 ripe tomato (or cut however you prefer)
    Cut whole cucumber in half, then slice about 1/3" slices
    Mix...then add whatever cheese you want -I usually use cubed cheese of mozzarella or pepper jack
    Add balsamic vinegar, 1-2 teaspoons of sugar, and olive oil

    Mix all together.


    I also found this salad that my company store makes and I love it but I'm sure it's real high in calories. I haven't made it yet but I might tonight for dinner:

    Grilled chicken (shredded or chunked)
    Walden Farms Mayonnaise (plain or flavored)
    Chopped celery
    Cranberries
    *If using plain WF mayo, add Mrs. Dash for flavor

    Put in a wrap, on whole wheat bread, or enjoy as is!

    I'm not really a salad kind of girl, but I had one today that was really good.

    Dark green lettuce
    cucumber
    carrots
    a few slices of chorizo
    15 g (half an ounce, I think?) grated vintage cheddar

    Dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and a little spicy mustard
    I used a LOT of vegetables for this.
