Mmm. Sounds good! You might consider a spring mix lettuce instead of just romaine, for a few of those darker greens (and hence more calcium and other great nutrients)--or even just add a little baby spinach.
I personally would have a salad like this with almonds rather than pistachios. But yumm.
I've done this with lightly salted almonds before. It was great.0 -
The dried cranberries are high is sugar so you may want to measure those out to only one serving. The nuts add a lot of fat, but at least its a good fat! The teriyakis chicken is higher in sodium than regular chicken so you may want to be aware of that as well. Overall though, you could do a lot worse chowing down on a bacon cheeseburger or something.0

It sounds mostly fine to me. I would ditch too many dried cranberries though and watch how many pistachios you eat. I think they're lower in fat than other nuts, but too many nuts can really sneak excess calories in. What I add in salads sometimes is a dried cranberry trailmix made by a brand called Ann's house. The mix contains dried cranberries, almonds and sunflower seeds. I sprinkle 1 serving (1/4 cup) into salads for flavor and crunch.0

I get mine from Walmart, but I'm sure Costco carries it too. I have to eat it in a salad, because I tend to overeat it by itself as a snack! I love salty/sweet snacks.0 -
