Salad Heaven...

I was soooo ready and excited for "Monday Salad" tonight! Not only to "detox" from all of the Easter goodies, but this gorgeous weather just SCREAMMMSSS for fresh veggies. So tonight we went with one of our very, very favorites: Grilled Chicken Club Salad with Guacamole Dressing... I can't even BEGIN to tell you how good this is...between the sorta-spicy chicken and the cool, avocado dressing...it's just salad HEAVEN! We "lightened" up this recipe a bit by using only 3 strips of the lovely TJ's bacon (adding only 100 calories total). And I also nixed the 1/3 cup of olive oil in the dressing for 2 Tablespoons of fat free Greek Yogurt. It might have been a little thicker than the oil based dressing, but you couldn't taste one ounce of difference once it was mixed in with the lettuce. (FYI: 1/3 cup of olive oil is 630 calories and 71 grams of fat...isn't that INSANE??)
We actually have a slow cooker dinner planned for tomorrow...even though I'm craving all things grilled;) Was it bad that I was walking into Pilates class tonight and totally was craving a good ole American hot dog? Oh well...good thing the salad was awesome;)
Have a great night!
