The Salad

When I'm in bad-girl mode, I eat too much or make selections that folks who love living should avoid, sweet foods chock-full of salt and fat. A good-girl dish I have at least four times a week--it's really great-- I recommend to Souper friends, their gnawing hunger to abate. I start with spinach, fresh and crisp, spread on a full-sized dinner plate. I add my diced, grilled chicken breast. I want it now, but I must wait! Strawberries (sliced), dried cranberries, a bit of onion--red is best-- I place atop my masterpiece. But wait--it's not yet fully dressed. The cruel label says to use two tablespoons--a little dab. I do use more, lite ranch, which makes this scrumptious salad simply fab! June 28, 2016 written for the Lewis Raynes I Love Food contest

Hey, I love salads and this one sounds delicious. The only problem with salads is they rarely fill me up and they don't last long when it comes to satisfying my hunger.

Salads don't fill me up either unless I add chicken. Albacore tuna is good on a salad too. Thanks for the comment, Daniel. Janice
