Summer Salad on the Go!



This is my new road trip lunch solution!! I am officially in love with these Arnold Whole Wheat Pita Pocket Thins - they are 100 calories per half and I've started putting salads in them for healthier eating options on the go!

I made this one this weekend and it was a such a better option than drive thru or a standard sandwich!

Chicken Mango Salad Pita: 

  • 1 cup spinach greens
  • 1/2 cup chopped chicken breast
  • 1/4 cup mango 
  • Golden Raisins
  • Fresh chopped cilantro
  • Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette** 
Toss all the salad ingredients together in a bowl and then put in the pita pocket!

 **If you are packing this as a meal for later in the day, I would put the vinaigrette in a small separate Tupperware container and add it right before you are ready to eat. Otherwise, your pita might get soggy!

Other Summer Salads to try in a pita pocket:
  • Chicken Poppy Salad - Chicken, Strawberries, Blueberries, Greens, Poppy seed Dressing 
  • Greek Salad - olives, feta, greens, chicken and a greek dressing
  • Cobb Salad - greens, chopped egg, turkey bacon, tomato with Ranch 
  • Southwest Salad - chicken, greens, black beans, corn, onions, tomato and salsa ranch dressing
  • Steak & Blue Salad - sliced Steak, blue cheese, walnuts, greens with a Balsamic
  • Caprese Salad - fresh mozzerella, tomato slices, basil leaves and Balsamic
