Like I said last week, with all the miles and Renegade workouts, I really do eat a lot. Which is good for me, because I do like food! Over the last few months, after I really made the big changes in what I eat, I have eliminated many things, but I have also found quite a few new foods and/or recipes that have become staples in my diet. Over the next few weeks I will start sharing a few of these each week with you.
Today, it will only be one recipe, as I forgot to take the necessary picture for the other recipes that I wanted to share with you... oops!
The first recipe that I felt I needed to share is one of my new favorite "un"sandwiches... who said you NEED bread for a sandwich? Ok, most people will say that you do, but something does not have to have bread to make is a sandwich! In reality, the bread is just a way to keep everything together so that you can get the "filling" to your mouth! This summer summer chicken salad utilizes a lettuce leaf to transport the fillings from plate to mouth! Genius!
Paleo Chicken Salad Summer Wrap
I found this recipe here at EasyPaleoMeals.org and after trying this one, you can be sure that I will be going back to try more of the recipes posted there! "Boring" plain chicken is transformed into a fun, flavorful chicken salad that brings you back to feelings of warm summer days - and after the extreme cold temperatures that we have dealt with this winter, I will do anything to think warm!
*1/2 cup chopped chicken
*3 tbsp chopped Fuji apples
*2 tbsp chopped red grapes
*2 tsp honey
*2 tbsp almond butter
Mix ingredients together and wrap into a Romaine leaf
I have made this so many times that I honestly don't even measure anything anymore! I just chop up as much chicken as I have available, then eyeball the amount of everything so that I have a nice colorful mix.
You do have to be patient when mixing everything together as it does take a while for the almond butter and honey to soften, or "melt" enough to adequately coat everything else. But trust me, it's worth the wait!
I also usually don't even bother with "wrapping" it in a lettuce leaf - I use the romaine leaf to make a boat for all of this chicken yumminess! for that matter, sometimes I don't even bother with the lettuce wrap and just eat it straight from the bowl!
ENJOY!
