We are all busy. Work, school, family, homes... the list goes on and on. Often sitting down for a home cooked meal gets put off for something easily pickup at a drive thru window or thrown in the microwave. At Meal Planning for Families we are striving to make cooking every night easy and fun. With simple meals and easy recipes. Each week adding more freezer meals, crock pot favorites and pantry raid meals. Making meals at home is healthy, fast, cheap and fun.

Don't be scared! Chopped salads are not that much work. I put this one and the dressing together in less than 10 minutes. Try it out you will love it!
Ingredients
Salad-
1 romaine heart - chopped small
1 small cucumber - seeded and chopped
5 radishes - chopped
3 celery stalks - chopped
1 can chick peas - drained and rinsed
1/2 c frozen peas - thawed *
1/3 c toasted sliced almonds
1/2 c crumbled feta cheese
Dressing-
4 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp water
1 tsp dried dill
1 clove garlic - finely diced or grated
salt
pepper
Toss salad ingredients in a big bowl. Add dressing to a jar, tighten lid and shake for 1 minute or put lemon juice, water, dill, and garlic in a bowl and whisk in the oil.
* Thaw peas by placing in a colander and rinsing them with hot water
Enjoy!
