I have here for you a nice crisp chopped chicken salad. Thought I would share a few healthier dishes after the season of sweets and heavy foods. This salad is full of flavors and textures. You have all of the crisp clean veggies, a slight sweetness from the grape tomatoes and dressing, and a bit of saltiness from the feta cheese and the olives.
My husband is not a veggie eater in fact I would almost go as far as calling him anti-veggie. However he will eat this salad and I have make a healthier dressing so he doesn’t drown it in that heavy fattening (but sometimes oh so good 🙂 ) ranch. He actually said that salad was pretty good. I would eat it again. That’s how I know it has a seal of approval! The amounts I have listed are more just suggestions. If you don’t like one of the ingredients swap it out for something else and fell free to change the amounts.
