One of my all time favorite salads, and perfect on a warm summer afternoon. When I was working full-time, my husband and I decided we had to change our diets because eating out for lunch everyday was just not helping us in anyway. I got online and ordered a few different recipe books and this has turned out to be my absolute favorite, Paleo Power Lunch. There are 26 different lunch salad combinations and they are ALL so tasty. Let me put out a disclaimer here, I do not follow the Paleo diet. I just love the combos of fruits, veggies, meat and nuts/seeds that this book uses. Even my husband, who doesn’t love salads, enjoys them. So, here is #1 with plenty more to follow.

2 cups arugula
3 ozs grilled chicken, chopped
4 large strawberries, sliced
4 stalks of asparagus, cut into 1″ lengths
1 Tbsp red onion, chopped
1/2 cup pecans
2 Tbsp Annie’s Organic Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing

In the cookbook, they also give recipes for Paleo dressings. I, however, like my full-flavor, full-fat dressings…sorry Paleo. I like to use Annie’s Natural & Organic Salad Dressings because they come in so many different flavors and most are certified organic.

That’s that. Enjoy!
