Protein Packed Salad

Despite still have a massive amount of eggplant lasagna leftover from the other night, I decided to throw together a salad for dinner. I had AB grill while I did the cutting indoors. This salad is super-tasty and chocked full of protein. I would link the recipe I used but I honestly just threw together a bunch of stuff (and a friend of my parent's used to make something similar to this).

Ingredients (for 3-4 servings):

• 4 pieces of corn-on-the-cob, grilled with butter
• 1 avocado
• 2 pieces of chicken breast grilled
• 1 can of black beans
• Handful fresh cilantro
• Cherry tomatoes
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper

What I Did:

• Grill corn on the cob and chicken- AB seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
• Rinse black beans and strain
• Chop cherry tomatoes in 2-3 slices each
• Put black beans and tomatoes in bowl, toss in some olive oil (enough to coat everything), and salt and pepper to taste
• Finely chop cilantro and stir in
• Once corn and chicken is grilled, cut the kernels off the cobs and chop the chicken into small pieces
• Toss corn kernels and chicken in with beans/tomatoes
• At the very end, cut the avocado into small pieces and stir in with everything else

I prefer to add the chicken and avocado right before I eat the salad, but everything else can be stored in the fridge (I don't like the stink of chicken or my avocados to get brown).

AB bought some pineapple today- he loves his pineapple...

Earlier this morning I drove out to my parent's house and snapped a picture of their Koi. The white one is HUGE (probably the length of my 18lb cat)...

In the last post I mentioned starting the dogs on Adequan today; that didn't happen. The vet was closed and apparently the girl that made my appointment forgot that. I will try again tomorrow before work! Lastly (is that a word?) AB bought a chess set and I survived my first game...and I liked it! Who would have thought?
