Delicious, nutritious salad swap sponsored by Fresh Express! #momsmeet #saladswap

My typical lunch, or pre/post dinner snack. I love the pre-sliced carrots! The baby kale mix is delish.

Dear Readers:

I am a member of Moms Meet and I received this product for free from the sponsor of the Moms Meet program, May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agreed to use this product and post my opinion on my blog. My opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of May Media Group LLC. or the manufacturer of the product.

  As most of you know, for the past 10 months I have been following a healthy food plan consisting mostly of vegetables, proteins and low glycemic fruits. I have eliminated added sugar, starches and most naughty carbs in the form of cookies, breads and cakes. So what do I eat twice a day and mix it up to make the ingredients delicious, healthy and exciting? You guessed it, SALAD! I love salad. Throw on fresh vegetables, proteins and fruit and I make a whole meal out of salad. And my new fave is from Fresh Express. It is a baby kale mix and is super delicious with baby kale, spinach and chard.  I put everything on it. Including nothing sometimes. And I have been experimenting with dressings too! Yum.

  I received several coupons (and passed some on to friends and family ) to expore and be creative with the Fresh Express bags and loved their ideas on their cool Salad Swap page! You can download the app for free too:

Citrus Chicken Salad

Delicious looking and oh so healthy huh?

So then, one night I experimented with my own ingredients and recreated a chicken fajita salad:

My homemade chicken fajita salad! 

Simple and easy to make.  Grill some chicken , onions and peppers in coconut or avocado oil. Then add in spices of your choice (I like hot pepper, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper etc). Then put a lovely pile of the lettuce of your choice (I chose my fave, the mixed baby kale)  add cilantro, avocado slices and if you eat dairy, some mixed cheese. I used lime juice to cook as well and put a dollop of homemade avocado cilantro dressing.  Delicious!!!
