Goat Cheese, Almond, Strawberry, Spinach Salad with Sweet Balsamic Vinaigrette

 I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but it's sunny and gorgeous here. It feels like spring! And that means, I am thinking about spring and getting fit for the season. So a salad is on the agenda today.

This easy, healthy salad is on the table in about 7 minutes. It's great for lunch or dinner.
This serves 1.



Directions
½ cup sliced rotisserie chicken

2 cups loosely packed spinach (don’t actually pack it, just scoop up 2 cups)

1 ounce crumbled goat cheese
¼ cup slivered almonds

5 strawberries, hulled and sliced

Dressing
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon ketchup

This salad is lightly dressed, if you like a good drenching, then double the dressing recipe.


Place salad ingredients in a large bowl or plate and then make the dressing.

Place salad dressing ingredients in a jar, seal and shake until well combined (you can also just whisk the dressing together if you don't have an empty jar. But it's a good idea to save empty jars for this sort of thing).

Pour over salad, toss, and let rest 5 minutes. Then serve.
