You guys. Have I got a power salad for you! 
This salad came to be while Dave’s parents were visiting us earlier this year. Dave and his parents were hard at work painting our house (yes, the OUTSIDE!) a beautiful bright blue.
But there is such a thing as too many cooks, and in my opinion four people painting a house is too many cooks. So instead, I worked in the garden and on logistics. Somebody’s gotta make sure that people eat (and at a normal time!)
Making an awesome salad was just one small way to say thanks. What I really love about it is all of the delicious bits of protein and healthy fats. Chicken. Greek yogurt, Chevre. Avocado. And it’s already gluten free, grain free and low carb, if you’re into those types of things. Oh yes. This is a good one.
