I love salad. Especially entree salad with grilled chicken. I slightly modified this recipe from Men’s Health magazine to fit my fancy for salad fixin’s, and it made a wonderful detox-friendly meal for K & I. And enough for a second helping later on 😉 It is super simple to make – I was able to throw this together while K & I talked about our day at work. Fast, simple, and delicious…that is my kind of weeknight meal! Well, at least sometimes it’s nice 🙂
