Gator's Dockside

Travis and I wanted to go to a beach restaurant we ate at a couple years ago in New Smyrna, but then realized it wasn't very logical since we both had to work early in the morning (it was a 4 hour round trip). Travis is helping me to get some variety and breaking me back into "real people eating" by taking me out to eat. So we took ourselves to Gator's Dockside tonight. I still have my guidelines to follow but thankfully they had a diverse menu and I settled on a Crisp Harvest and Cheddar Salad. Something I would NEVER have decided on before this diet... Lettuce, some cubed ham, cheddar and apples topped with a little apple cider vinaigrette. It was one of my favorite salads ever. I had to group the cheese, ham and apples on the side of my dish to make sure I didn't eat too many calories but the combination of everything was amazing!! You can bet I'll be buying the ingredients to make this dish at home. So simple but so perfect.
