It’s time to lighten things up around here. That means getting rid of those extra, unwanted winter pounds that crept on during the endlessly snowy winter we had in my part of the world. Perhaps you have some bulges you’d like to smooth out too? Summer will be coming, so more Weight Watchers friendly recipes and lighter food products in general are going to help make that happen.

I chose to use the Flatout Flatbread Light for today’s salad recipe. I tend to watch my carbs, so I was happy to find that this variety has half the carbs than the original.

Since spring is best known for cleaning out anything and everything, it’s time to clean out the fridge and use those leftovers to make a lightened-up Quesadilla Cobb Salad. You’ll need chopped lettuce, tomato, avocado, chopped chicken, one slice of bacon and a hard boiled egg. For the quesadilla part of the salad, you’ll need Flatout Light and a bit of reduced-fat shredded cheese.

The salad itself is quite hearty with plenty of protein and veggies to keep you feeling full.

The Flatout quesadilla bites add a small measure of indulgence, acting as cheesy “croutons” to an already substantial and satisfying salad.

The dressing is a very simple homemade strawberry-balsamic vinaigrette. I eat salad almost every day for lunch, and this is one of my new, lighter go-to meals.

Here are a few other recipes made with Flatout Flatbread you might enjoy:

• Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels
