Power Salad with Yogurt Dill Dressing

Ingredients

Directions


  1. Bring several inches of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add green beans, cover and steam until the green beans are crisp tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from steamer and let cool.
  2. Whisk yogurt, mayonnaise, shallot, dill, vinegar, salt and pepper in a large salad bowl. Add greens and toss to coat. Mound greens on two large plates. Top with the green beans, chick peas, tomatoes, chicken and cheddar.

Homemade Taco Sauce

This is nice and uncomplicated! You know the only thing I'd change is the salt and make it kosher, other than that this recipe is clean. I haven't made it yet but I will the next time I need taco sauce! Homemade things are better!

Homemade Seasonings

I found this on Pinterest. Several things I do miss about being allergy free. So happy they can be duplicated at home Make sure the minced onions are JUST onions. I personally would use kosher salt. Use raw sugar. Instead of sour cream use 0% greek yogurt. 

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery.
