Mix'it Up Chilipo Salad

Cutting back on portions is easier when you combine a few things you love and add them to salad. This one is chili with some crisp romaine & vegetables topped with baked potato rounds. That way you get a small amount of all the ingredient flavors and they blend nicely. I used my melon baller to scoop out the potato toppers. Three nice bites are just right. I always eat on a small plate and 1/2 of this salad was more than enough. This hearty chili had both meat sauce and two kinds of beans; quite filling, and with the fresh salad and potatoes, it filled me up fast. Depending on how hungry you are, about a cup and a half is a good size serving. 50% chili and 50% salad. Also, you have two sizes to choose on most melon ballers, pick the size you like.
