This salad is relatively easy to make and you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand. 6oz of vegetables, 4oz of protein, and fat are all included in this recipe. You will need to add 6oz of protein to complete a BLE women’s weight loss portion lunch!

Start by toasting a 1/2 cup of slivered almonds and 2 tbsp of sesame seeds. Make sure you watch them carefully as they can go from light to dark very quickly.

Next you will warm your chicken in a skillet with 1tbsp of sesame oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Build your salad out of whatever veggies you like. We suggest: red bell pepper, scallions, carrots, and mushrooms. You can also choose your lettuce, or use kale and spinach as well. Once you have your salad assembled (before the chicken and nuts) toss with tamari and lime juice.

Assemble on a plate, 6oz of salad, and 4oz combined chicken and toasted nuts. Recipe to follow.
