These are the ramblings of a self-described wheat, grain and gluten-free “gourmet girl” that loves to cook and eat good food. I love creating and sharing recipes and photographing “beautiful food”. In July 2012, I eliminated wheat, grains and added sugar from my diet and rediscovered real, whole fresh foods again and effortlessly lost 65+ pounds. Join me in my wheat, grain and gluten-free journey. See how easy it is to enjoy grain free gourmet, one meal at a time! Welcome to my blog. Enjoy!

Monday's Super Simple Salad...
This evening, I decided to use up the rest of the chicken we had for dinner last night, so I diced it up and then prepared the salad. I cut up a big head of romaine lettuce, thinly sliced 2 small carrots, sliced some mini San Marzano tomatoes, diced some sharp cheddar cheese and then placed all of it in big dinner-sized bowls. Hubby topped his with some crumbled leftover bacon from yesterday's brunch as well as Kalamata olives. I made a very simple vinaigrette using avocado oil, a splash of pomegranate infused red wine vinegar, a pinch of Celtic sea salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. It was a super simple summer dinner that allowed us to use up our leftovers in a completely different way...there's more than one way to "skin a chicken"...LOL...literally! I snapped a few photos to share below. Enjoy!

Ready to be framed! Who could resist this colorful creations?
We call it a *Chef Salad* and it is so perfect for summer. Fun to put together too! Costco baked chicken came handy again!
Be well and safe! Barbara.
Thanks, Barbara! I love a big salad, especially in the warm weather! Have a wonderful day! :-)
Hi GGC,
We love your salads! So beautiful and so yummy. Never thought we could get filled up with "just" salad, but your creations truly make a meal. :-)
Thanks, CyberSis! It is such a quick and simple dinner to put together in the warm weather -- you don't have to heat up your kitchen and it is a great way to use leftover chicken, salmon or steak too. Glad you like them, too! :-)
