I love a big, delicious salad for dinner. It not only is a healthier option than many other things, but I always feel better after eating one before bed, as opposed to eating a big bowl of pasta, for example. Lately my boyfriend and I have been trying to eat better (because apparently the first few months of living together included eating extremely unhealthy). Last night I made a huge salad full of delicious toppings. It was extremely simple to make. I first put boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the oven (seasoned as you wish). While that was cooking, I started the salad. My base was shredded lettuce. My toppings included shredded carrots, reduced fat shredded cheese (just a handful), tomatoes, raisins, and a small handful of Ramen noodles (for added crunch). My dressing consisted of oil, vinegar, and Good Seasons Italian Mix. Once the chicken was done, I cut it up, threw it on top, and tossed it all together. While not every single ingredient in my salad was what one would call ‘healthy’ (all of us probably know Ramen from our binging college days), I believe everything in moderation is just fine. It was leaps and bounds healthier than what dinner could have been, trust me. Next time you’re in the mood for a big, delicious salad, give this one a whirl. Even those in your life who aren’t salad lovers will still love it.
