My husband and I have been trying to eat a little healthier.
Because of our choice to change our eating habits,
we have lost weight. That makes us very happy.
This recipe I found online and I will share with you
exactly how the recipe was written and I'll share you my version.

1/2 red onion chopped
1 c. dried cranberries

I chose to make a smaller amount of dressing
than what the recipe originally asked for.
The salad had a slight hint of taste from the dressing
that it did not overpower it.
I also added two grilled chicken breasts to the salad.
It was filling for my husband and me
and there was enough left over for his lunch.
I'll try your version!
