Goodness at home: The Non-Dieter's Mega Salad

President's Choice has been coming up with a lot of new products that are pretty great, one of which is this newly discovered crumbled Tomato and Basil Goat Cheese for $4.99. Equally exciting is the Kraft's Signature Roasted Pepper Salad Dressing ($3.29ish, tastes like an upgraded version of the Italian dressing but has the smoky taste of roasted peppers and is less acidic) and you've got the ingredients to an awesome salad. Best of all, the dressing is only 20 calories per tablespoon.

Armed with these two magical ingredients I've managed to fill myself up on some satisfying salads that dieters may find a little too caloric.



This was a deep bowl filled with baby romaine, diced apple, sliced roasted chicken from Costco (a huge one for $6.99, the white meat parts that are too dry go perfectly in salads and pastas), carrots, tomatoes, and quarter cup of oily, sugary trail mix with dried kiwi, papaya, strawberries, peanuts, almonds and walnuts. Complete it with a sprinkle of goat cheese and a dash of the Kraft dressing, and a salad better than any store-bought one is created in less than 5 min.
