Great thread! I am usually eating either a wrap or a salad at lunch so I hope to get some good ideas off here. One of my fav 5 factor salads is below. Not sure how to reference it properly so I just said it's from his book. Hope that's ok.
Mexican Chicken Salad with Spicy Salsa Dressing
From 5 Factor Diet by Harvey Pasternak
***I have modified it a little bit which I will state below***
6 oz. skinless, boneless chicken breast
1 cup nonfat sour cream
1 cup salsa
1 small head iceberg lettuce, coarsely chopped
1-1/2 cups canned corn, drained
1 tsp. fajita seasoning mix
1 pinch cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1. Combine the fajita seasoning, cumin, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breast with the seasoning mix. Microwave the chicken for 6 minutes. (I either grill it in my grill, bake or else dry sautee on the stove with pam stray or without any oil). Remove from the microwave and set aside to cool slightly.
2. In a blender, combine the sour cream and salsa. Pulse until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add a little water. (MMMMMM....such a good dressing!!!)
(3. I like the corn cooked a little so I ususally either steam/boil it in the microwave or cook on the stovetop. Then set it aside to cool.)
To Serve: Cut the chicken breast into 1/2" pieces and toss it with the lettuce, corn, and salsa dressing. Serve immediately.
