Craisin and Sunflower Salad

I'm pleased with my first day of the big diet.  I exercised like I wanted to and ate healthy - good start.   

The simple salad I made last night for dinner turned out really well, so I thought I'd share it with you.  The measurements are for an individual serving. 

  • 5 oz boneless/skinless chicken breast broiled and thinly sliced
  • 2-3 C (approx.) Spring Mix lettuce 
  • 2 T Craisins 
  • 1 T Sunflower Kernels 
  • 1/4 C Seasoned Croutons 
  • 2 T Kraft Lite Raspberry Vinaigrette

(My dinner salad had a total of 9 Weight Watcher points)


I just layered everything on individual plates and served with blueberry muffins.  

When I make this again, I'll add some grape or cherry tomatoes and maybe a little red onion. 

Joy in a successful first day!

  2. Wishing you much success. I lost 30 lbs 5-1/2 years ago and have kept it off. Although, I did gain some weight this summer and am still trying to down to where I was before. Now that the weather is cooling down, we are back to walking most nites.

    Love the afghan you are working on. Looks like a lot of work. But your dishcloth sounds easy so I will be giving that a try tomorrow or this weekend.

    Have a great rest of the week. :) Tammy
