Curry Chicken Salad

Curry Chicken Salad

This recipe comes from Chef Devin Alexander’s new cookbook, You Can Have it!.

Although, this cookbook is labeled diabetic friendly, everyone will enjoy the recipes. I have had a great time thumbing through the pages. It seems most of the recipes are really easy to follow and use everyday ingredients so you won’t spend all day in the kitchen or find yourself going to multiple grocery stores to find crazy unheard of ingredients.

Chipotle Steak and Avocado Salad

Chipotle Steak and Avocado Salad

This recipe makes a quick weeknight meal and only takes minutes to prepare.  I always make it from leftover steak.  I am addicted to Costco and buy the 4 pack of beef filet from there and cook them all at the same time to use for meals later in the week, like this salad. You could of course you could use any cut of steak that you like and always sub out the beef for chicken or pork. Make it vegetarian and use tofu.

You could of course also throw in any other veggies you have on had if you like including cucumber, celery or carrots.

With this salad only consisting of protein, veggies and healthy fats, it is clean eating and Whole 30 approved!

Chipotle peppers have become one of my favorite ingredients, but beware that the heat is in the seeds so it is important to scrape the seeds out of the pepper before chopping it. You can always add in a few seeds if you like your dishes spicy.
