Fast and Fresh - Chicken and Orange Salad

Another Yummy Idea for Lunch – I’m no gourmet, but here goes….
I went to the grocery store last night and loaded up on healthy stuff (see our recommended shopping list).  I was going out with friends last night so I wanted to make our lunches (me and the kids) before we left as we were likely going to get home late.
I had bought one of the beautiful roasted chickens  from Randall’s.  My wonderful husband deboned it and put all of the meat in a plastic container. 
I opened up a medium size plastic container and threw in chopped lettuce (already precleaned and sold in the plastic boxes from the grocery store).    I added the slices of an orange, shredded chicken, walnuts, cherry tomatoes, half an avocado, and a few sprigs of fresh broccoli
I made a variation of the homemade vinaigrette dressing – I opened a small plastic container and added extra virgin olive oil, fresh orange juice and rice wine vinegar, black pepper and sea salt.  I will toss that over the salad just before I shake it up and eat it. 
Yum.
