Today's lunch is one I could eat more of! Lunches have always been the hardest meal for me to get creative with. So the meal planning is really paying off here. Today's idea comes from Key Ingredient and is Feta Avocado Chicken Salad. Depending on where you live, you may or may not have an Aldi's nearby but if you do, you should really check it out if you have not. The produce there is amazing! My change is in the lettuce. I like romaine but its sort of boring. Aldi's had some beautiful lettuces in heads packed in plastic boxes. I pulled a whole head out, chopped it up and it was the perfect amount for this. Instead of cherry tomatoes, I used romas. A lot less work and that's what I had on hand so no need to spend more money. I also used canned chicken. It made this so much faster then having to cook or cut up left overs. Just drain and dump. I'm not a fan of bell peppers but my kids eat them like candy so I thinly slice them so that it's not huge chunks at one time and the kids get a veggie they love. I'm about to go back and get seconds it is so good and I'm not usually a salad gal. Oh, and I added a cucumber too. I think you could make this salad as versatile as you want it to be. Chick peas would be yummy too! I look forward to playing with this one more.
