Warm Chicken Liver Salad

We love chicken livers but having it in our salads wasn’t something I had ever thought of. So remember I told you guys we have started on with some healthy drinks early morning, the breakfast that follows these drinks is a citrus fruit and two boiled eggs. And for lunch we have salads. Now I must admit that I never was fascinated with this new diet. I miss carbs badly, but my hubby ensure we stuck to the diet and then we made this pact. I need my meat at least and then began this salad spree and its been 2 weeks now. We add lots of leaves, some protein and lots of veggies. I guess we are doing penance by eating as much veggies we could have missed out in the last three decades. Initially I felt a bit weak which could also have been psychological. But I see a lot of my colleagues taking the health route and we also are in an office which has no cafe to tempt me into binge eating.

This is one of my favourite salad from last week. Warm chicken liver salad- I named it so, because this a is a warm salad basically where I have sauted all my ingredients with butter, salt , pepper and rosemary.Rosemary with chicken livers taste divine. But you don’t need to buy rosemary or rather let the absence of rosemary stop you to make this salad. I have used butter and olive oil to saute my ingredients.

Go ahead and try this salad and you will fall in love with salads like us. Go ahead and tweak the recipe if you want it slightly spiced.
