Salads have re-entered my life in a big way.
Even the hubby is loving them. We have a local restaurant called Lettuce, and lucky for me, the hubby likes it too. They make fantastic salads with a seasonal, fresh and local ingredients. You can also get sandwiches and specialty hot entree’s that change daily.
When I was contacted by California Walnuts and was asked if I would like to participate in their Virtual Salad Party I jumped at the chance.. I love walnuts. They are a healthy protein and totally fits into my Low-Carb eating plan.
All participants chose which salad they wanted to create from several different chefs.
So let’s get the party rolling.
I hope you enjoy my selection. I modified it to fit with a Low-Carb diet, but I am sure you will LOVE both of them.
The original recipe Created By Joanne Weir, Executive Chef of Copita and host of “Joanne Weir’s Cooking Confidence” can be found here.
The crisp tart flavor from the apple and toasty crunch from the walnuts make a great combination.
The addition of sharp cheddar, well, it puts the finishing touch on this salad. The chicken was just a great addition of protein.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
