Chicken Salad with Veggies

Chicken Salad with Veggies

Sharing is caring!

It’s nearly summer here in Greece and I had made up my mind to start a diet after Easter and at last I am ready for it.However, you will still be seeing food which is not diet food but I have a lot of recipes I have prepared but not wrote about and of course my family still needs to eat, so I will be preparing cakes and desserts for them.

I am not on a strict diet yet but yesterday I prepared a lovely chicken salad, which is worth mentioning.

I’m sending this recipe to Anh of Food Lovers Journey, who is the host of this week’s Weekend Herb Blogging, created by Kalyn of Kalyn’s Kitchen.


I am also sending the photo of this salad to Michelle, of Greedy Gourmet, for her event Snackshot #4, Salads.

Sounds very delicious. Love the way you have the peppers around the edge of the plate. (This would be perfect for my diet too!)

Hola Nuria, It's my first official day today. I hate diets and if it wasn't for health reasons I would stay "fat". But I have to loose some extra weight because I have back problems. I shall start posting some diet dishes but like you I still have to cook for the family. So let's help each other chica.

Val, it's not fair. I don't feel comfortable now. Of course, I would want to offer to both you and Ben and Cynthia. I didn't know that Nuria received it from somewhere else. You shouldn't have given it back to me. Thank you.

Ivy, the picture is just gorgeous and the dressing sounds so good. Welcome to the diet club, we should really start a diet club here, so many of us are going into diets lately :-p

Cheers!
