Buffalo Chicken Salad

We all are all familiar with that time of the month.... when there is nothing in the pantry that is. I know what you thought. (No chocolate dessert for that time just yet.)  No, today the pantry and fridge were scarce so I thought about what sounded good. There is a wrap at Einstein Bros. Bagels that is a chicken salad with buffalo sauce. It's really pretty good if made correctly, which sometimes they skimp on the ingredients. Anyway, back to today, I was inspired by wanting that flavor but not wanting the extra bread.  With just a few ingredients, it was so easy to make a great salad that had a little kick.

I filled a bowl with mixed greens, added chopped celery, cucumber, and avocado. For the chicken salad I used one of the large cans of chicken breast (drained),  one tbs of chopped onion, one tbs Hellman's olive oil mayo, onion salt, and Louisiana hot sauce to taste. Mix them all together, scoop onto salad, and enjoy! S added a Klaussen pickle to hers and I added a squeeze of lemon wedge. It needed the acidity so you should use whatever you prefer.

On another note, I have started gaining some weight. What with the missing of a leg causing me to be less active and all the traveling increasing my fast food intake, it was bound to happen. Now that my pants aren't fitting and my bras are over flowing I figured I needed a diet because I have no money to buy new clothes that do fit. Oh and I want to be healthy too... kind of. I have decided to join the millions of others that are also on weight watchers and, well, watch my weight. Also, I plan to bump up my exercising which is easier now that I have my prosthesis!! This does not mean I will be changing all of my food to only salad and stuff. Trust me!  Butter and I have a tight relationship and wine and I have a therapeutic love that my mental status can not afford to quit right now.  I will merely be letting you know the points of the meals that I make. For example, this one is 4 points. Pretty good for a meal! Enjoy!
