    My husband and I are determined to start eating healthier meals in the new year. This week, we began by developing a 3-day healthy meal menu that will get us headed in the right direction. I was inspired by a menu I saw on the Cooking Light site and knew I could fix similar meals that were light & healthy.

    This morning we had some yummy eggs with tomatoes and basil and a banana. Perfectly delicious and filled us up until lunch. For lunch, I wanted to make a salad of some sort and couldn't decide between Chicken Walnut Salad, Hearty Quinoa Salad or this Rosemary Chicken Salad. Obviously you know what won out. 🙂

    This chicken salad is super easy to make especially when starting with an already prepared rotisserie chicken. I have made it before with leftover grilled chicken and roasted turkey and it's just as yummy.

    I added green onions and fresh rosemary to the salad but you can also sub regular onions and add some celery as well. By serving it over spinach and tomatoes you add the all-important vegetable component to the meal. These vegetables help supply antioxidants, fiber, iron and other important vitamins and minerals while the salad dressing provides healthy fat and the chicken, lean protein.
