Here is a fun way to get out of a same-old-salad-rut. Make the most of seasonal strawberries, too! I took romaine lettuce, added chopped grilled chicken, crumbled feta, walnut pieces, sea salt, fresh pepper, and a homemade dressing made by combining apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, sea salt and pepper. I usually prefer this type of salad to me made with baby spinach but romaine was all I had, and it was still very good. There are endless variations to this...try goat cheese instead of the feta, replace the chicken with another form of protein, change the vinegar to red wine or balsamic, use almonds instead of walnuts, try dried cranberries or blueberries instead of strawberries...anything goes for salad, so have fun, the sky's the limit! It's always fun to add a crunch, a sweet, and an acid to make things interesting.
Today I made a fun lunch with chicken burgers and tomato soup...check back over the weekend for the details!
