Insatiable Strawberry Chicken Salad...and other cool stuff ;)

Hey ya'll!

And if you're "in the market" ;) for a healthy, filling and incredibly amazing salad, here's my personal favorite recipe. It's packed with protein, which helps to keep your satiety levels happy for a bit longer in addition to the muscle recovery benefits. Trader Joe's has all you need and keeps it inexpensive, too.

Insatiable Strawberry Chicken Salad
*Cup of Baby Lettuce/Spinach Mix, Spring Mix or your favorite salad base blend
*3-4oz of Just Chicken
*1-2 Strawberries
*1/2-1 Persian Cucumbers
*1/4 Orange Bell Peppers (optional for a sweet zippy flavor)
-3-4oz Fat Free Crumbled Feta Cheese
-2-3 tablespoons Champagne Pear Vinaigrette with Gargonzola dressing
Just dice up the goodies and add it to the salad base. Top it off with the feta cheese and dressing. Enjoy!
