Weight loss Wednesday, vol 1

Today's weight loss Wednesday is a recipe that my wife came up with (http://www.thesingingloser.blogspot.com/).

It's a simple salad recipe that is filling and delicious.

1 cup mixed greens (for me, the dark green and reddish purple ones.  The more bitter the better.)
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/4 almods (she likes the sliced ones, I prefer slivered or halves)
1 whole apple, cut into bite-size cubes (I prefer Granny Smith or some other green, moderately tart apple)
2 tbsp Paula Deen's Peach Dressin' (okay, it's dressing, but when Paula talks about it, you call it dressin')

Mix all ingredients into a salad.

For some extra oomph, I'll grill 4 oz of boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut it up and throw it in there once it cools.

Enjoy!
