This is a very good recipe that is low carb enough to enjoy without feeling guilty. I plan on fixing this using some of my leftover turkey instead of the chicken.

Salad Lovers this is a new recipe I found in a Health magazine,for me I haven't tried it yet..I think the sugar content might be too much for me,also the sodium content is kinda high but I guess I can leave out the salt...
