• 2 Tbsp. chopped red onion
• 2 Tbsp. chopped red peppers (roast peppers for added flavor)

• ¼ cup black, garbanzo or kidney beans
  OPTIONAL: I recommend some cooked orzo with this recipe (adds some carbs to the nutritional profile)
• 3 ounces grilled, chilled chicken breast
• 2-3 cups cut greens

• A few chow mein noodles or walnuts on top for some crunch
