One of my favorite easy healthy meals is a chopped vegetable & fruit salad topped with any grilled or roasted protein. In this picture its grilled chicken but this salad is equally good with lean pork, steak or fish.

Nectarine Cucumber Salad

Chef Alina

This salad is addictingly delicious and extremely versatile, after you have made it a few times, try subbing out different veggies and fruits based on the season and your personal preferences.
