Hi Guys! Hope that you had a great weekend!
We have been so busy in life, it is almost painful (I am sure everyone can relate.) So I look forward to the weekend so much, and then I get overly excited and try to cram in everything in those two weeks and then I am more exhausted at the end of the weekend then I ever was on Friday. I have to remember to try and save Sundays for being totally couch bound so that I am not so tired come Monday morning. It might be a good idea to remember not to drink too much too! Headaches don’t make anything easier!
Whish leads me to the fact that I have been doing Whole30, although I think it could more accurately be called “mostly whole30.” I was perfect until Saturday night, when I ate sushi with rice, soy products and a bunch of sake. Oops.
But I was back on the wagon this morning and am really determined to stay on the wagon this week!
This delicious Sicilian Chicken Arugula Salad is one of the ways I am sticking to the program!
It’s healthy, filling and SO jam packed with vibrant flavors that you forget about what you are not eating and focus on the deliciousness at hand!
What are your favorite Whole30 dishes? I need some dinner inspiration for the week!
- 8 cups baby arugula
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
- ½ cup finely chopped sundried tomatoes
- 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and halved
- 1 cup large black olives
- ⅓ cup currants
- Spicy Viniagrette
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or a little more if you like it SPICY!!)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- kosher salt
- Arrange the arugula, chicken, sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, olives and currants in a large bowl or on a platter.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing and season with kosher salt to taste. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat then serve immediately.

Love the creative ingredients list in this salat! I would just switch the chicken to quorn as I am a vegetarian – but I bet that would work perfectly
How could you resist sushi rolls? Lol. This salad looks perfect for a Monday reset! Hope you get to relax a bit!
So many flavors and textures — great work
