We begin our journey of healthy eating with a special salad. Made of the freshest ingredients available, it combines sweet, tangy and savory flavors to make a meal that's a pleasure to taste. Ingredients like orzo (a rice-shaped pasta), apples, onions, toasted walnuts and shredded chicken make this a meal that's got a little bit of everything.

The dressing for this salad gets its tang from a healthy dose of cider vinegar and a little fresh lemon juice. With all of the fat in this dish coming from lean chicken breast and olive oil, it's a meal that you can smile while serving!

Who said New Year's resolutions had to be hard?
