Green Godess Chicken Salad

by forloveofcarrots on May 18, 2012

Happy Friday!!

For 3 nights in a row I have eaten Watermelon! I could live off watermelon and coffee alone and be a very happy person!

But since we know I like to keep things balanced over here and reading a blog about a person who only eats watermelon and drinks coffee would be pretty boring so I made a salad. You’re welcome for thinking of you.

I am a self proclaimed mayonnaise HATER! I hate it, it smells, the thought of what it is made of grosses me out. It is used in the dressing for this recipe. Now be for you go and call me a convert, a traitor or a hypocrite. let me just say that I still HATE mayonnaise.. But I liked this dressing..oxymoron!?

Or the simple fact that you use so many herbs and spices that you forgot your most hated condiment is involved?

Whatever it is you should really make this salad, the bread really makes it (I used a whole wheat ciabatta) and I added artichokes to the mix and put it over romaine lettuce. It was a winner.

Do you like mayo? What is your most hated condiment?

Things you may not know

Happy Happy Thursday!!

The weekend is upon us! Today I wanted to update you on my no dairy, things are going fine, I will admit I have had a cookie or piece of chocolate here and there but I haven’t had any cheese or yogurt and I miss it and my face doesn’t look any better. I am going to give it some more time but I am thinking that dairy isn’t the culprit of this breakout.

I WANT TO RUN and I don’t mean 5 miles I mean like 10+ miles, I just want to go outside and run until I can’t run anymore! I really miss being able to workout. These stitches are annoying and I cannot wait until my follow up appointment on Monday to get the ok to workout again!

On a positive note I have been getting SOOO MUCH SLEEP! Like 9-10 hours of sleep a night, it is amazing and I wake up feeling like I slept for days.

And on a random note, my grandma sent me an email about “things to know around the house” here are my favorite!

Tell me something random?

What has your favorite workout been this week?

Yesterday I got two moles removed, one on the middle of my back and one on my left calf. The experience was interesting, I was able to drive myself to the appointment and drive myself back to work after. All they did was give me a shot in each of the areas to numb it [...]
