Sweet-and-Salty Salad with Apples, Red Peppers, Feta, and Chicken

I'm a salty-sweet person.  I like things like Snickers and Baby Ruth, chocolate-dipped pretzels, chocolate espresso beans, and M&Ms in my trail mix.  But any Weight Watcher knows that sometimes those sweet, salty, or sweet-and-salty treats aren't necessarily the best option... For our taste buds yes!  But for our waste lines, not so much.

Here is a healthy, delicious, and filling salad that gives you a bit of sweet, a bit of salty, and a bit of tangy zing in every flavorful bite!  At only 6 Points per serving, who could refuse!

  • 1 cup wild rocket (arugula)
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 (3 oz) boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1/2 small apple, sliced
  • 1/4 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 oz feta cheese
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinaigrette (I like Newman's Own, at 1.5 Points per Tbsp)
Tenderize chicken and season with salt and pepper.  Cook in a nonstick skillet until done.  Move to plate and set aside.
Place all other ingredients together in a bowl or Tupperware container.  When chicken is cool, slice and add to the salad.  Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette; mix well (or shake).
Bon appetit!
