Here is another salad that is far from ordinary. This is a favorite of my husband's...Chicken, Apple, and Avocado Salad. I created this version the day after my husband and I had a date at a Cheesecake Factory Restaurant and had a similar dish there. It was so good that I had to come up with something of my own to satisfy my craving. Here I tossed romaine leaves in my "go to" dressing of Balsamic vinegar, EVOO, lemon juice, water, sea salt, and fresh pepper. I added chopped chicken (there are a few brand name pre-cooked chopped chicken packages that are now labeled "gluten-free!"), diced Granny Smith Apples, tomatoes, avocado, shredded cheddar, bacon pieces (just 1-2 teaspoons), sea salt & fresh pepper, and cucumbers. I sometimes like to add fresh corn as well, but I didn't have any when I made this salad. This salad is very filling and very satisfying...and it boasts many healthful ingredients that will give you a real boost of energy. Whenever I make this salad, I actually feel lifted after eating it. There are no carbs or heavy fats to bog you down...and the apples and lemon/balsamic vinegar wakes you up a bit! Enjoy!
