Amy's Sensational Summer Salad requires about 1 hour and 30 minutes from start to finish. Watching your figure? This gluten free and primal recipe has 543 calories, 23g of protein, and 36g of fat per serving. This recipe serves 6. A mixture of feta cheese, lemon juice, chicken breast halves, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so tasty. To use up the salad dressing you could follow this main course with the One Bowl Chocolate Cake as a dessert. It works well as a rather expensive main course for The Fourth Of July.
