Madarine Chicken Salad

Another change was made with a big pecan halves sprinkled on top instead of the candied pecans. ¼ cup candied pecan halves have 492 calories versus plain pecans are 400 calories ¼ cup. It's almost an extra 100 calories with sweetened version. The third change I made was to remove the dried cranberries. The clutches of this salad with dried fruits is also a detachment of about 160 calories.

The fourth and final change was made to use sugar-free mandarin oranges instead of mandarins is a sugary syrup. 4 cups sugar-free contains 40 calories versus 4 oz of sugary syrup mandarins who has 70 calories.

My version contained a dark green romaine, sugar-free mandarin oranges, tomatoes, gluten-free brown rice bread crumb crusted chicken breast, tomato, ¼ cup pecans, ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles and lite raspberry vinaigrette. These small changes, but not radically changing the taste of cutting calorie intake in half.
