Рецепт Light on the Belly
After a heavy (guilt-free) weekend celebration of giving thanks I almost looked forward to getting back to the norm. Planning my meals and grocery trip for the week on our drive home was almost a beating- I was worn out on food period. So- it was natural that I chose to create my meals around the less heavy fare for this week. I based this salad around one that I've had at popular restaurants once or twice- Chicken Caesar Salad. But, instead of a creamy based salad dressing, usually running the calorie tally up to 900-1,000, I left out the mayo and eggs and made a Caesar vinaigrette dressing- I also changed up the proteins and added some whole grains to round it out to a wholesome meal.
