In the beginning, when you first start "dieting" or "eating healthy" or whatever else you call it, do you have the same issue as me? I never feel like I get to lift my fork to my mouth enough times! By the end of the first week, I'm ready to eat, I mean really eat! I want to keep putting food in my mouth until my tummy says stop, not only until my teeny tiny portion runs out.
That feeling led me to the discovery of this amazing salad! Boy oh boy did it do the trick! I was able to lift my fork as many times as I could and when I was done, I was really done eating. Completely satisfied all the way to my toes!
Salsa Verde Chicken & Shrimp Salad
1 tbsp cilantro, dried
1 cup sour cream, fat free3 tbsp Salsa Verde
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp salt
13 oz raw chicken breast, diced
8 oz raw shrimp, small
2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
6 cups Italian Lettuce mix
3 Roma tomatoes, diced
1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (11 oz) can Green Giant Steam Crisp corn, drained
Mix the first six ingredients until well blended. Set aside while preparing the salad in order for the flavors to blend. Season chicken and shrimp generously with Old Bay. Spray a medium skillet with cooking spray and cook chicken and shrimp on medium high heat until chicken is no longer pink. Drain any liquid. In a large bowl, combine lettuce, tomatoes, black beans and corn. Add cooked chicken and shrimp and mix well. Pour dressing into salad mixture and toss to completely cover every morsel!
Each serving of 2 cups is only 7 points plus on WW and will completely fill you up! This recipe will serve at least 6 people, more if they are small eaters.
I have finally found a "diet" recipe that I can literally eat until I'm ready to stop! Oh, by the way, I don't consider slurping soup "eating". I want to chew, chomp, taste and savor when I get in this mood! Now it's on to the next discovery until the urge hits again!
