With summer season upon us, it also means it’s time for sundresses, shorts and bathing suits. I realized that I needed to rein it in a bit eating-wise, and kicked of another round on Weight Watchers in June (perhaps publicly sharing this will also keep me accountable? 😉  This isn’t sponsored or anything, but Weight Watchers is a system I go back to when I need a re-set on my eating habits. One of my favorite weeknight meals when trying to eat healthy is a BLT salad. Unfortunately, my favorite blueberry coffeecake is not on the approved list!
This salad comes together in about 15-minutes if you already have eggs boiled. Perfect for those nights when I get home late from the gym.
