Ingredients 1 cucumber about 2 cups of strawberries 1/2 a cup of crumbled feta Dressing 1/4 cup of white vinegar 1/2 a cup of canola oil 3 tablespoons of sugar 2 tablespoons of white onion 1/2…

Recipe: Chicken Salad
Chicken salad – with yogurt and it’s gluten free! Total score. This healthy chicken salad makes use of tangy plain yogurt rather than rich mayo.
