Easy, Light Dinner

Here's an easy, weeknight dinner I threw together below. This meal is nothing fancy, but the flavors worked really well together. You could easily substitute some of your own favorite ingredients for the ones below. Also, if you are making the recipe for children, you can always separate the parts on their plates to give them what they like. Enjoy!

Weeknight Salad with Rotisserie Chicken 
Serves 3-4

Ingredients:
3/4 bag of lettuce or greens of your choice
1/3 bag shredded carrots
1/2 c dried cranberries
1/2 c toasted sliced almonds or chopped pecans
1-2 ripe, diced avocados
balsalmic dressing
1 rotisserie chicken (the flavor I used was lemon pepper, you could always just use leftover chicken)

Directions:
Toss first six ingredients in a bowl. Top with sliced, warm rotisserie chicken. Serve with wild rice and/or hearty grain bread.
