1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
1/2 avocado, sliced
1 cup chopped Cucumber
1 green onion, sliced
Fresh Parsley
Ground Pepper

Balsamic Vinegar

1. Mix the chicken and vegetables in a bowl gently so that you keep the avocado intact.

2. Chop 1/4 cup of the fresh parsley and add to bowl.

3. Add fresh ground pepper to taste and mix.

4. Spray lightly with Balsamic Vinegar in your Misto Sprayer. If you don't have a sprayer you can  sprinkle instead.

Tip ~ For a great presentation you can put a cookie cutter in the center of your plate, fill the cookie  cutter with chicken salad, then gently remove the cookie cutter. The photo above was taken using a butterfly cookie cutter.

Something to Think About:

What am I Grateful For?

Everyday I find myself acknowledging all the wonderful people, places, and experiences in my life. It's an important thing to do. When I acknowledge my gratitude I feel overwhelmed with love and with joy. I am so fortunate to live at the beach, have wonderful people in my life and do what I love.

Ask yourself this question. Find out what you truly value in your life. I promise you that in your down moments, taking note of your gratitude will pick you up instantly.
