I made myself a great lunch yesterday, I thought I would share. I had some left over lettuce from some lettuce wraps we had over the weekend. It was butter lettuce I had never tried it before, it was good. So anyway I thought I would make myself a nice salad. Obviously you can use any lettuce you want, the best choice is fresh spinach. The worst choice is iceburg. Iceburg lettuce has no nutritional value, try to avoid it. Then I got a chicken tenderloin(no breading) and baked it with pepper and few spices. I also cut up a string cheese stick. Then I made my own vinegarette dressing. So my salad was lettuce, chicken, and cut up string cheese. You could also add an apple, pear, or nuts. Then for my dressing 1 TBS of rice vinegar, 1 TBS oil(olive oil is the best choice),a 1/2 tsp soy sauce and a tsp of raspberry jam(or just a tsp sugar).
