Chicken and Spinach Salad
Whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Arrange 1 cup baby spinach; 3 ounces diced, skinless rotisserie chicken breast; 1 tablespoon chopped pecans; and 1 tablespoon dried tart cherries on a plate; drizzle with dressing.

I think all the weeks are the same. We get emails saying "This Week's Diet" but I don't think it changes.

1/18/2010 12:13:38 PM Report AbuseI would be wondering about Weeks if we were actually given sample menus for a full week as opposed to one day... Healthy Recipes are good but this is what I struggle the most about - setting aside time (a lot of it!) to figure out a whole week worth of meals! Please give use full menus for full weeks... success rate will increase if you take the most of the thinking away! Thanks!
