Power Lunch

We all have days packed with obligations, responsibilities and hopefully some fun activities. Busy schedules demand a lot from our bodies. Being mindful of what we eat is important for everybody, especially those of us living with food intolerances when grabbing a quick bite isn't easy. This salad is packed with protein and vital nutrients needed to face whatever the day holds. Feel free to make adjustments according to your personal tastes.

Cobb Salad
Serves 4
*1 large chicken breast quartered (marinate in the juice of 1-2 limes and your favorite dry rub, I used chipotle, grill and slice into bite size pieces)
* 4 strips of bacon, crumbled
* 2 avocados, diced
* 4 eggs hardboiled, sliced
* 1 can of olives, sliced
* 2-3 green onions, sliced
* 8-12 c fresh salad greens (I used a romaine and spinach mix)
* top with crumbled blue cheese if you are not dairy free

Combine all ingredients and enjoy! Blue cheese dressing is good, but since I can't have dairy I use olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
