Grilled Chicken and Berry Salad

So I decided to start the summer off right with a grilled chicken and berry salad.

I used a recipe from this awesome cookbook I got as a party favor from a fancy dinner in Washington D.C. It's the "Savoring the Seasons with Our Best Bites" cookbook. All the recipes are sorted by seasons, it's cute. 

This recipe is incredibly similar to the Summer Chicken Salad from Zupas and it was DELICIOUS!

So I made the dressing. I've like never made homemade dressing before so I was shocked when it turned out so good! I had to improvise and use garlic and onion powder instead of real garlic and onion, but it still turned out great .

 All the stuff in the salad dressing.

Now for the green stuff.... 

Combo of romaine lettuce and spinach

 Added some grilled chicken. Thank you George Foreman.

What the salad actually looked like:

Not bad huh?

Like 30 seconds later...

 Like another 30 seconds after that. 

Well, I'm calling this a success! It really was crazy delicious. I liked that it was sweet, but not too sweet. Definitely gonna have to remember this one!

Round 2

Ok, so I created this blog a year ago and as you can see from my lack of posts... I kind of gave up.

Vegetables: 1
Sarah: 0

But NOT THIS TIME!

It's time for Round 2 of my epic battle with vegetables. I'm altering the rules of my adventure a little bit so that I actually stick with it this time. Baby steps right?

Anyway, so instead of trying a new veggie a week, let's go for just eating vegetables. Period. Sounds pretty lame for an adult to have to start there, but hey, it's better than nothing. 

Ok, here we go!
