Cucumber and Tomato Salad

This simple salad is SO tasty and SUPER refreshing!  All you need is cucumber, tomatoes, black olives, feta cheese, coarsely ground black pepper, a little salt and olive oil.  Toss all of the ingredients together and enjoy!  It's so easy because the proportions are all up to you.  If you like hothouse cucumbers the best, use those.  Grape tomatoes?  Ok. Roma tomatoes instead? That works too. Minced black olives instead of sliced?  That's fine.  Plain Feta or Garlic Herb Feta?  Either will work (or leave out for paleo).  So fresh. So tasty. 

Enjoy!

Chicken and Cheese Tortellini Salad

 EASY and DELICIOUS

All you need:

Cheese Tortellini

Cherry Tomatoes

Chicken {rubbed with basil and lemon pepper}

Pesto Sauce

Romaine Lettuce

Bagel

Cut Bagel into thin slices.  Lightly oil and sprinkle with garlic powder.  Toast in a toaster oven or under a broiler until golden brown.

Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and cover with the rub.  Cook it in a lightly oiled saute pan until browned.  Cook tortellini as directed on package... they usually take about 5 minutes to boil.  Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.  Toss together with desired amount of Pesto Sauce.  

Cut up the lettuce.  This is the bed for the rest of the dish.  Scoop the other ingredients on top to serve. 

Enjoy!
