Spa salad! It's one of my favorites, and litterally covers every food group!





- romaine lettuce torn into bite sized pieces


- cooked chicken breast cut up into bite sized chunks


- mandarin orange slices (the canned ones work great)


- red seedless grapes


- chopped walnuts


- ramen noodles, cooked and drained (don't use the seasoning... I break them into pieces before cooking too so they're not too long)


- grated Romano cheese





There鈥檚 no specific quantities of each ingredient, I just use however much I need for the number of people I'm feeding. This is best with a curry dressing (it's nice and light and tastes really good with the fruit!)





curry dressing:


2/3 c. plain low-fat yogurt


1 tbsp. honey


1 tsp. lime juice


1/4 tsp. curry powder
Cobb Salad.... buy or make a citrusy vinegrette.... cut up or buy pre-packed lettuce. Add sliced mangos, avacodos tomatoes, pine nuts, grilled chicked and cheese.... (traditionaly its blue cheese, but I like mozz)
Try this one! It is great (%26amp; works well for a pot luck, take-along too!):
