Our health challenge is going awesome! Thank heavens we are doing it during the summer because there are so many more options for affordable fruits and veggies.
We’ve been having a different kind of salad 4-5 nights each week. Good salads.
The other night we had this delicious salad and I just had to share. It was so delicious.
Colorful… flavorful… and easy to throw together…
The combination of honey and balsamic is seriously genius.
Then you go ahead and add tomatoes and peaches for a little sweet and bell peppers for a crunch. And let’s be real here, avocado is perfect in almost every salad.
This chicken is a flavorful protein that makes the salad a complete meal.
