We had friends over tonight and they are very good friends and provided us with honest ratings for the dishes. We served Greek Chicken and Barely Salad (Rating: 7) and on the side, Roasted Tomatoes (Rating: 4).
The salad was easy and I loved the barely in it. It also made a ton--8 servings! I had to sub in some black olives because I only had 4 kalmata olives left in the jar. Neal and I and one of our guest agreed that if we had used only kalmatas it would have probably been an 8 rating. My son ate 4 helpings of the salad. Despite the fact he is one giant toddler, he doesn't ask for repeat servings often.
The roasted tomatoes were a hit with one of our guests; however, the remainder of us had issues with the squishy texture, although approving of the flavor. Using roma tomatoes may provide better results as they are meatier with less water--though I don't care enough to test that hypothesis.
For my friends using Weight Watchers (WW), the salad was from "Point-less" Meals, a food blog catering to the points system used and has a wide variety of recipes. Skinnytaste is another food blog that has a ton of recipes and provides points information for the old and new WW program. Hope they are helpful.
