I’ve been thinking about making this salad for a while, after having it several times at restaurants in the past. It’s an easy one to put together, and can be really hassle-free if you have any leftover chicken in the fridge! This is a great after-work-when-you’re-too-tired-to-cook recipe. Enjoy!

Ok, ok. I admit it - I’ll say it loudly and boldly - I LOVE ROASTED GREEN BEANS. I can’t keep off of ‘em, either.

One of the hardest items to live without, for a lactose-intolerant such as me, is pizza. With today’s great soy cheeses, there now exist unlimited options for having a dairy-free authentic-tasting pizza.

Ditalini means “little thimbles” in Italian, and this short tubular pasta will hold whatever goes into it, making it the perfect carrier for a tapenade sauce, which is thick and spicy. I added some grilled chicken into the mix, and the results were 5 stars ***** great. Buono appetito!
