 Caprese Chicken Salad
This amazing and easy salad it a favorite in our house! Although I typically recommend going dairy free with PCOS I do occasionally make exceptions. Mozzarella is a high-fat cheese and probably a better choice than some dairy options. But you will see I don't overload my salad with it. Just a few pieces as a splurge and it's so worth it!
