Paleo: Chicken & Poppy Seed Broccoli Slaw


Tastes way better than my cell phone
camera makes it look!
I couldn't find a poppy seed dressing that didn't have "illegal" fat in it (they all have soybean, canola or vegetable oil as first ingredients).  So I came up with this today.  It's a variation a recipe some friends originally gave me. 

I noted the ingredients on the Mezetta's bottle and then realized I could use the Everyday Paleo mayo as a base!




Here we go!

Trust her... Make the Everyday Paleo Mayo here using Extra Light (tasting) Olive Oil.  I tried 4 times with EVOO and it flopped each time!










Dressing:
1/2-2/3 C. Everyday Paleo Mayo
2 T.  Cider Vinegar
1 T. Agave Nectar
1 T. Light (in color) Molasses (tastes milder)
2 T. Poppy Seeds
2 tsp. Onion powder

1 bag Broccoli Slaw
1/4 C. dried, unsweetened cranberries
1/4 C. golden Raisins
1/4 C. Sliced Almonds, unsalted
2 Shredded, cooked chicken breasts

Make the dressing, and toss with the salad ingredients.  Yum!

You can eat it immediately, or chill for about 3 hours.  The broccoli slaw softens a little, but still stays crisp.

Donna's Copycat Fuji Apple Chicken Salad Recipe

Image
So I went to Panera Bread the other day and enjoyed their Fuji Apple Chicken salad. I have to say it was yummy. But after I went to the website and read the nutritional content I was less than pleased. A 500+ Calorie salad and a ton of ingredient names in the dressing I can't even pronounce. Although one that I can pronounce is Propelyn Glycol, which is found in lighter fluid. Uh, yeah... I don't think so.

So I took it upon myself to make a similar salad.

Salad Fixin's
Romain Lettuce (they used mixed Spring Greens)
Red Onion
Pecans (just a few per salad)
Tomatoes
Dried Apple Chips
Gorgonzola Cheese (just enough)
Rotisserie Chicken (Breast only No Skin)

Donna's Fake Fuji Apple Dressing (6 servings)
2 T. Olive Oil
1 T. White Balsamic Vinegar
1 T. Apple Cider Vinegar
1 T. Garlic Powder
1 T. Onion Powder
1 1/2 t. Dijon Mustard
3 T. Organic Frozen Applejuice Concentrate

Busy, Busy, Busy!

I'm alive, just been real busy and haven't had much time to write anything meaningful, or even meaningless in my blog. LOL

On the post-op front things have been going well, albeit slow. That's okay though. My measurements are showing progress and that's what's important.
Work has been crazy-nuts, but I am making my way through. Next week I'm off to Salt Lake City for training. I'm excited because I'm going to try skiing for the first time while I am there!
Here are some more progress pics. I'm 11 1/2 weeks out today and down 55 lbs. I am, however, going to start to weigh monthly. I think it will be healthier for me mentally. For my updated measurements, click here.
