Yes, that's right. This is the week of Thanksgiving and we will be posting some recipes and tips to help you stay on track! We all have our Thanksgiving favs (mine is green bean casserole) and I know from experience you have to be able to be comfortable indulging in these holiday foods in order to stay in control. The last thing you want is to skip that green bean casserole on Thanksgiving, and then lay in bed on Thursday night with the green bean casserole in your head saying 'EAT ME, EAT ME'! When you don't indulge you many times end up going out of control. So, anyways, what better recipe to start Thanksgiving week than a delish and flavorful fall salad. This salad is anything but boring, easy to put together and low in points - YAHOO!

Ingredients
Dressing
3 T. olive oil
3 T. balsamic Vinegar
1-2 T. Chipotle
1 T. apple cider
1 t. dry parsley
Salad
1 package mixed greens
1 cup carrots
1/8 cup toasted almonds
1 oz goat cheese
1 apple, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
This recipe is super EASY! Mix all dressing ingredients in a small bowl of THIS! If you have never tried chipotle peppers you should. You can find them in your local market in the ethnic foods aisle. For this recipe, you only need to add the sauce.
Heat a tiny sauce pan on the stove and add the almonds. Sautee them until they are toasted and light brown! Add all of the lettuce to a bowl and toss with the dressing. Then, add the carrots, almonds, apple, onion and cheese.
Tip:
Do you know what a mandoline is? Here is a pic! You can use it to chop your onions into thinly sliced, beautiful circles! Not to mention you can use it for fruit, potatoes and anything else that you need to slice small.
