We just got back from 10 days of vacationing and needless to say I went a little overboard on the eating. Trying to get back on track this week with some easy meals, especially since the house is a mess and I have a million loads of laundry to do!
Since I was strapped for time I decided to take the easy way out tonight and make a salad with pre-washed shredded romaine lettuce and rotisserie chicken breast. I spiced it up by making my own Caesar dressing that has a rich, creamy texture but isn't too caloric. I am not a big crouton person, but if they are a must for your salad, just be sure to factor in the additional points/calories.
