Salad Season is "a'startin'"

Hi All:

I know I am so behind in posting blogs, but my impending graduation and trip abroad are keeping me very busy!
I still have to eat healthy though, especially since I will be traipsing all over the English countryside. I've got to keep my energy up!

Here is the healthy salad I just had for lunch.  Those of you who read my posts regularly, know I love my blackened chicken, and this salad does not disappoint. (See my blog post of July 7, 2013 titled Summer Salad for the blackened chicken rub recipe)


It is fast and simple and I simply tossed everything onto the plate. In order, I used:

A handful of mixed greens (I used mixed baby spinach and baby kale)
A handful of coleslaw mix (mine had 2 different cabbages)
3 strips of blackened chicken left over from last night's dinner
A handful of toasted pumpkin seeds
A handful of orange flavoured dried cranberries (locally grown)
A few crumbles of feta cheese
My own secret Japanese style salad dressing (it packs a flavourful punch, but any light dressing will do)
( I may reveal this super secret recipe in a later post; but only if Newman's Own turns me down first)

Et voila!  Enjoy.
