5 – INGREDIENT EASY SALAD

 

 

Summertime seems to be made for salads, and this simple salad makes a frequent appearance on my table mainly because its Nevaeh’s favorite. I find it kinda funny that an easy salad made with only 5 ingredients is something that she cant quite get enough of, but you wont hear me complaining!

This salad is just another reminder that keeping things simple is the best way to go. Does anyone else try these complex meals that take a ton of time and ingredients to put together and end up with a dinner that doesn’t have the wow factor it should for the amount of effort required? And then, to make matters worse, you have a ton of cleaning up to do. It has happened to me more than once, so this summer I am fully embracing the keep it simple keep it cute motto.

And with all the fresh produce that’s available, why waste time in the kitchen when you can capitalize on the great flavors naturally provided. This grassy, crunchy lettuce is the perfect partner with the salty parmesan cheese and smokey caramelized bbq sauce. So much flavor in each bite. Add some chicken strips, and you have a killer meal that took minutes to prepare and is super healthy too.
