Chopped Chicken Garden Salad w/ Spicy Avocado Dressing #WeekdaySupper #ChooseDreams

June 2, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 12 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I am so excited to be posting my first #WeekdaySupper recipe, which is also hosted by American Family Insurance.  As you know I am part of the #SundaySupper team, but what you may not know is that they also post recipes throughout the week.  I never contributed until now, but I am very excited too!   Today’s theme is quick and easy meals from the garden!  Well you know I am all over that!  I love fresh produce from the garden!
Chopped Chicken Garden Salad with Spicy Avocado Dressing
For my recipe I made Chopped Chicken Garden Salad with Spicy Avocado Dressing. Ahhhhhmazing!!! This salad tastes so good, it’s light enough not to feel weighed down, yet has enough protein and healthy fat to fill you up. I love these kind of salads. Just a perfect simple light meal that can be put together in a matter of minutes.
Chopped Chicken Garden Salad with Spicy Avocado Dressing
The salad is made with chicken, cucumbers, sweet bell peppers, tomatoes, carrots and scallions. Just plain and simply delicious! But the dressing on top kicks it up a notch or two. It’s made with avocado, jalapeno greek yogurt, milk, garlic, lime juice and cilantro. Oh my gosh, I could eat it with a spoon and well I pretty much did! I love the dressing and it is so thick and hearty, however if you like a thinner dressing you could always add more milk.

So Guys, I know I have said it before, but have you started a garden yet? If you follow me on Instagram you will see my garden is flourishing this year! I am growing tomatoes, bell peppers, banana peppers, spicy peppers, zucchini, cucumbers and some herbs. I love it! I highly recommend you give a garden a try. Not only do you have fresh produce that you grew yourself, but you get exercise, sunshine and it’s something you can be proud of! Plus you can share all of your freshly grown produce with friends, neighbors and family! It’s a win, win for everyone!

If you have children, get them involved in the garden! Have them pick a plant out that they like. Have them plant it, water it and care for it. Not only will you be teaching them how to garden, but you will be giving them memories to cherish for a lifetime. Plus it’s a great way to get them to eat their vegetables! Maybe my Mom should have done that with mushrooms. Still don’t care for them. lol

The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
