Healthy Caesar Salad

Today, I need to let you know that all salads are not created equal! A large Caeser salad can contain more fat and calories than a burger with cheese!

You don't have to miss out, try this alternative healthy caesar salad...

Ingredients:

4 oz. chicken breast
2 Handfuls of lettuce - any type
(Except iceberg which has no nutritional value)
½ Cup chopped tomatoes
½ Cup chopped cucumber
½ Cup chopped celery
¼ Cup feta cheese

Instructions:

Oven-bake or grill chicken breast until cooked
(Season to taste)
Place the lettuce onto a plate
Add tomatoes, celery, and cucumber to lettuce
Slice chicken, place on top with crumbled feta

Dressing:

1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
½ freshly squeezed lemon
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Mix together and drizzle over

A couple of tips for you when eating at someone else's place or at a restaurant...

Don’t eat whatever is put in front of you, find out what’s going in to it and how it’s cooked before you decide to eat it.
Don’t EVER order anything larger than a regular portion.
Never order takeout!
Drive through needs to become a drive by!

This is a healthy chicken caesar salad recipe but if you don't eat chicken then you can easily swap this for fish, or even add some pulses/nuts/seeds to make it suit your dietry needs.

Stay fit, keep focused and feel fabulous!
