I used to have a hard time with salad. Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, ham... yuck. Then I had a salad at a restaurant that defied all of the salad rules. Applebees Oriental Chicken Salad. It was like a party in my mouth. When I figure out how to re-create that dressing in a healthier way, I'll post it. For now, try this! This is my very favorite salad. I use Ken's Steakhouse Lite Honey Mustard dressing.
2 cups salad mix (I prefer a mix of romaine and iceberg with cabbage and carrots)
1/2 cup diced apple (Grannies or Pink Ladies give great flavor to this salad!)
2 Tbs Craisins
2 Tbs Pecans (or walnuts)
1 Tbs Chow Mein noodles
2 Tbs minced red onion
Add 2 Tbs salad dressing (or to taste but add in the extra calories).
Toss to coat.
This will serve 2 as a side salad or 1 as a meal. < 250 calories!
Add 1/4 cup diced cooked chicken for extra protein!
