Salad review

If you are in the mood for buffalo wings but don't want the fried fat and grease Rockne's has a good alternative for that craving.

Buffalo chicken salad - lettuce with grilled chicken with hot sauce.
Order the hard boiled egg halves instead of the pita bread to cut points, calories and carbs.

Even though the salad is pretty plain, shredded cheddar cheese, celery, and tomato, the added spice from the chicken makes it worth it!

Order with some blue cheese dressing to cut the heat (they usually give you 4 2T cups but you probably can use only 2 at the most). It is worth the points to get the real stuff.

Here is a yummy Greek salad recipe I like to make

I just throw all this together in this order so I don't usually measure so you may have to do to taste.

1 1/2 heads of iceberg lettuce, torn and put in bowl
1 container of Feta cheese tomato and herb flavor, sprinkle on lettuce
1-2 large tomatoes, chunked how you like
1/2 cup of pitted Kalamata olives
A few tablespoons of garlic powder to taste, sprinkle on salad
salt and pepper to taste

Toss all these ingredients in salad bowl
Add about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup (to taste) of corn oil
Toss salad

Right before serving toss salad again and add lemon juice or white vinegar (about 1/4 cup).


ENJOY!
