Summer is coming which means my body is in the mood for salads for lunch and sometimes dinner. I was feeling a bit BLAH about it though and started going through some “ancient” cookbooks for inspiration. Doing so, I stumbled upon a recipe for a grilled chicken salad with green beans and a kalamata olive dressing and got inspired!
I didn’t really like how the author made their dressing, so I decided to make my own version and here is what I came up with. Added bonus, I created this one and container-ized it as I went to make sure you can use this as a dressing for your orange Ultimate Portion Fix container. Even better? You will use that container to help you measure everything out!
I know a ton of you have issues “getting in” that pesky orange container and this could be perfect for you. Added bonus . . . it tastes just like olive tapenade. So, whether you use it for a salad or for a dip, you are in the clear!
