Make Over Monday

 Make over Monday.   Once again this week flew bye.  I had such a busy weekend!  Just trying to catch up with house work took me most of the day.  So I went to my always go to easy meal.   A salad with grilled marinated boneless chicken breast.  You know I always give the bad news of what the calories will be if we eat this similar salad  at our favorite restaurant or even made at home because most of us don't have a clue how much we over do.

 Looks good and innocent but this salad is 970 calories and if you add extra salad dressing well you don't  want to know, and this is with grilled chicken,  not fried.

 So here's what you'll need for my version.
1)  2 Cups of chopped salad greens of your choice.
2)  1/3 of a med size cucumber, sliced, chopped,  how ever you like it.
3)  1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
3) 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
4) 1/2 shredded carrot!/4 cup sliced or chopped onion
5)  salad dressing of your choice but go with a low fat version or a simple lemon and olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
6) Top with 4 0z grilled chicken  breast

In the summer I also like to add a grilled peach, slice pineapple, plum,  any seasonal fruit.  Grilling fruit is yummy and only adds  60 - 90 extra calories.

So my salad even with a grilled peach and lite salad dressing is : 410 calories and  it's a large dinner serving!
