The skinless chicken breast and veggies were not used to calculate the FreeStyle SmartPoints. All other points do not include the vegetables in the calculation.

Tips

You can swap out any of the vegetables for your favorites without impacting the Weight Watchers points since veggies are zero points. There are a few exceptions so be careful if you add any veggies that do have a points value.

Instead of the Miracle Whip try this creamy chive dip for your layered salad.

Here's a skinny layered vegetable salad from Betty Crocker that has a yummy buttermilk dressing for one of the layers.
