Servings: 1 large salad
Calories: 541kcal
Ingredients
Salad
- 2 cups of a combination of romaine and spring mix enough to fill an average pasta bowl
- 3 oz rotisserie chicken shredded, 85g
- 1/2 a small tomato chopped
- 1/3 of a ripe avocado ~40g
- 1/4 of a large beet chopped (you can add more if you want!)
- a few slices of red onion thinly sliced
- ~1-1 1/2 oz goat cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped pecans
- 4-6 sliced olives
- salt/pepper to taste
- oregano fresh or dry, to taste
- fresh basil torn or sliced into small pieces
- 1 tbsp balsamic optional, I add this later if I find the dressing isn't as acidic as I would like
- 2 tsp white vinegar optional, again, adds some nice acidity to the salad
Dressing
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 2-3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp dijon grainy or smooth is fine
- 1/2 tbsp sugar free maple syrup optional
- salt/pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add all of your ingredients to a pasta bowl.
- Shake up your dressing ingredients in a small jar or bottle.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Add a little more white vinegar or balsamic if you want a little more flavour. Enjoy The Best Salad Ever!
Notes
*You can lower the carbs just by making a slightly smaller salad. Most of the carbs come from vegetables so I wouldn't be as concerned but in general, just make sure your total daily NET carbs come out to 20-50g depending on your diet and this will fit in nicely. :)
