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.
Chopped Chicken Garden Salad with Spicy Avocado Dressing
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

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary! 

We’re a fabulous group of friends sharing our love of flowers, elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

I just love this time of year! The weather has bee I just love this time of year! The weather has been just beautiful outside. I have spent so much time working in the yard and just enjoying the sun and warm weather. I am a total summer person.

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree.

What is your favorite cherry recipe?

I am super excited that I was able to put together a little bouquet of flowers from my garden. I can’t wait till more flowers start to bloom. I get so excited for the garden season.

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷
Don’t forget that Krumpets Home Decor is having 25% off there whole site. Plus you can use my 10% off discount code on top of the sale price: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Do you have any plans for Mothers Day?

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?
