Now that the holidays are over, I usually try to eat a little heathier to make up for all of the cookies, cakes and other goodies I samped. One of my favorite go to recipes is a simple chopped salad. All of the fresh ingredients are so tasty and the garbanzo beans, help to make it a filling meal choice.
4 cups chopped iceberg, romaine and butter lettuce (any combination)
1/2 cup julienne sliced salami
1/2 cup deli turkey or ham chopped into 1/2″ pieces
3 tablespoons chopped onions
1 can garbanzo beans
1 package cherry tomatoes
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Mix ingredients together. Chill until ready to serve. Just before serving, toss with bottled or Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing. Serve with a crusty loaf of bread.
Do you tend to try to eat healthier at the beginning of the year?
































Hi Raquel, love this simple chopped salad!! It’s the salad I make most of the time because it’s a classic, easy, quick and so crisp and tasty!!

That’s a fine-looking salad! We will try to eat healthier for a while, then the enthusiasm wanes, sad to say!
Thanks for stopping by Eva! I know what you mean…I try to balance it out so I can stick with the program

That looks good! I do try to eat healthier in January after all the feasting in December!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. It’s nice to see another mom relate to my soon to be empty nest over here. It’s a good thing and I’ll be ready, but I am relishing every moment right now. Take care, look forward to your posts! Sharon

Nothing like a simple salad that looks and tastes delicious! I’ve been on a health journey for a while so eating healthier is nothing to me
