Colorful & Fruity Rainbow Summer Salad!

Daily Tidbit:  I didn't set out to make a Rainbow Salad tonight, but that is what happened!  Eating lots of different colored Veggies & Fruits helps expose the body to a great variety of nutrients & vitamins.  Here is a great link which lists Veggie/ Fruit options by their color group:

Slow Cooker Amber Ale Chicken Recipe:
Into Slow Cooker put:  1 tbsp EVOO, 1/2 White Onion, 2 cloves of Garlic, 1 chopped Green Bell Pepper, salt/ pepper & 6 Skinless, Boneless Chicken Thighs & 1 bottle of Amber Ale.  I cooked this on Low for 8 hours, then add 1 can of rinsed & drained Pinto Beans & 1 cup of Brown Basmati Rice for anther 30 minutes.  Serve with 1 or more of the following:  Fresh Salsa, Fresh Lime Juice, Fresh Cilantro, Avocado, Cheese, and/ or Corn Tortilla Chips (I obviously like to eat it with ALL those things :))

Note:  You can omit the beans & rice and just eat the Amber Ale Chicken by itself or with other vegetables or sides.
