Chicken Cobb Salad

Chicken Cobb Salad

Happy June! Summer is finally here and now it’s time for some really light but delicious meals. You don’t want a super heavy dish when it’s hot outside so this Chicken Cobb Salad is the perfect thing. The chicken and egg packs it full of protein without weighing you down and the avocado gives you a boost of healthy fat along with the vegetables giving you the freshness you crave. You can top this with whatever dressing that you want but an avocado ranch would be fantastic, I love this brand because it’s not loaded with extra sugar and won’t ruin all the healthy perks of the salad. This is definitely a meal you will want to eat every day!  Continue reading “Chicken Cobb Salad”

Spicy Bean and Corn Salad

Vegetarian

There are a few really great things about this Spicy Black Bean and Corn Salad! First of all, it’s insanely easy to make so you don’t have to worry about standing in front of the stove. Next, it’s full of fiber so it’s very healthy for you. My husband makes a big batch of this to eat throughout the week when he’s meal planning. Finally, it’s gluten-free and vegan! This is a great beginner recipe if you are just starting out on a new diet plan. What I love about this also is that it’s a great leftover food, it reheats as well as the first time so you can make a lot ahead of time and keep it on hand for when you need a meal.  Continue reading “Spicy Bean and Corn Salad”

Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Salad

Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Salad

Now that it’s summer, a great salad is much appreciated! Now you can chop up some tomatoes and cucumbers and throw them on some lettuce or you can make. a. salad! This is delicious and hearty, which means you won’t feel hungry an hour later! Plus it’s full of protein and veggies so it is amazing for you too! I loved this salad but my only complaint was it didn’t last very long! We went through it pretty quick because not only was it so delicious, it also goes well with a variety of dressings. I’m a creamy fan (thousand island, ranch, blue cheese, etc) and my husband is an Italian dressing guy so knowing that it was equally delicious made it even better! Even better, you can double up on the marinade and use that for an awesome honey mustard dressing on top! Continue reading “Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Salad”
