Notes

Note: Serve your salad with a protein like chicken! These chicken skewers are great if you want to top the salad with your protein, otherwise, serve it on the side. Filet mignon is also great with a salad, and so is fish (I’m partial to salmon). You could also serve this meal with a crusty slice of bread and a bowl of soup!
