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!




BOOM!

    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.

  3. 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. :-)

  4. 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! :-)
