I’ve been on a low cholesterol diet lately. I’ve eaten nothing but chicken and fish for the past six weeks. Admittedly, I feel a lot better. I have more energy and I don’t feel as bloated. I thought I’d share my favorite four chicken salad recipes with you. Although I wouldn’t actually call them recipes. There’s no science here. I cook a chicken breast on my grill pan on the stove, chop it up, and toss it with whatever salad ingredients I’m in the mood for.

Chopped Salad

Arugula or your choice of greens
Diced Red onion
Diced tomato
Diced Cucumber
Diced Chicken
Feta (okay I cheated with the cheese)
Bolthouse Farms Cilantro Avocado Yogurt Dressing

 Mediterranean Salad

Arugula or your choice of salad greens
Chicken
Red onion
Peppers and Olives off the mediterranean bar at the grocery
Feta (oops, I cheated again)
Balsamic or whatever kind of vinaigrette

Tex-Mex Salad

Salad greens
Corn-I cut the kernels off one ear and cook them for a second in olive oil
Guacamole
Pico de Gallo
Chicken
You can add beans if you like them. Yuck.

Lemon Vinaigrette Salad

Salad greens
Avocado
Chicken
Feta (Maybe I’m not doing so well on watching the cholesterol, after all)
Red onion
Candied walnut crumbles
Lemon vinaigrette

What’s your favorite throw-together salad?
