One of the simplest meals to make is a warm chicken salad. You can pretty much create your own salad from readily available foods around the kitchen and garden (as I like to do) or from fresh from market produce, but one of my favorite things to do is to make a quick meal salad from produce that is sitting in my fridge or pantry. Leafy Greens and raw vegetables are a great source of fiber and we recommend plenty of that in our nutrition coaching!
You can garnish a salad with pretty much anything that your taste desires. In summer I prefer to go with a fruit garnish, in this case, pomegranate. But in winter it may be something warm and tasty – such as lentils.
