Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and got lots done! Today's recipe is probably more of a lunch recipe but if you were to add the walnuts and apples as suggested you could have this for a light dinner I'd think. Research is showing that walnuts are good for your blood pressure, they have omega-3 fatty acids, and have fiber. I really like walnuts and bought a bag of them at Costco...just a little (1/2 oz) handful of the walnuts and a yogurt keep me satisfied in the morning until lunch time.

I am absolutely going to make this recipe this week. I think I'll put it on a bagel thin. If you haven't tried these thins you absolutely must. They are ONE (1) weight watcher point per thin and are completely YUMMY! I like to have them with turkey, lettuce, tomato, and some Laughing Cow French Onion Cheese...that sandwich is only 3 points!
Anyway, enough about food, have a wonderful Monday and I'll see ya tomorrow!

I keep looking at those Bagel Thins at the store - I'll have to try them. I love bagels. What a smart idea!!
YUUUUUMMMMMMEEEEEEE!!! That looks absolutely delicious! Great choice for Monday. It's going to be hot here so I think I'll make this for dinner!! Plus, the "boys" LOVE chicken salad!! I might have to skip the pickles though, The boys don't like pickles in salad. I'm the only one that puts pickels on everything. :0) Thanks for the recipe!!
Have a fantastic week!!
Ohhh this looks yummy! I guess I have a couple of items to add to my grocery list! ;-)
This actually sounds so good! I love cold salads like this... esp. with chicken in it! *Ü* Thanks for the recipe!
