I absolutely love raw spinach. When I went TO a day job-I would pack this following salad up almost everyday of the week for lunch! Sometimes I would add a bit of leftover chicken or salmon, but usually this was it (it was also a contest winning, published recipe in Taste of Home's Simple and Delicious magazine and cookbook last year):
Raspberry Greek Salad
Ingredients-amounts vary depending on how many people and if you are serving it as a side or a meal!
Baby spinach, thoroughly washed and dried
Sliced mushrooms
Peeled, seeded and sliced cucumbers
Cherry tomatoes or sliced roma tomatoes
Dried cranberries (I figure about 1 tbsp a person Is really plenty)
ΒΌ C sheep's or goat's milk feta, per person, crumbled.
Options: grilled chicken or salmon, either chunked or shredded, toasted walnuts or pecans
Non-fat or low-fat raspberry vinaigrette (I like the non-fat Raspberry-pecan from Ken's)
Toss all but the dressing together. Before serving add dressing and toss to coat. Serve with warmed fresh pita bread.
Enjoy! There, now doesn't this help make up for last week's cookies?
what I love is the sweet chewiness of the cranberries w/ the salty-creaminess of the feta.
WOW! this sounds so good I’m going to make it right now because i have those ingredients so happens lol. Thanks!
Yummy! This sounds so good. I think I will have it for dinner.
Let me think about it leeann! I usually love to chop up the chicken and add celery, apples, dried cranberries a little dijon and non-fat mayo. Sometimes I will add some toasted slivered almonds.
I have switched the apples for halved grapes and added some chunks of avocado-really good!
I hope that continues! Tomorrow, I’ll be talking about food allergies and how to change ingredients to make things safer for those of us with them.
I’ve entered it in the chicken contest at www.MixingBowl.com.
Please go to it, join (great recipe site) and vote for it everyday until the end of April!
It was also in Taste Of Home’s latest hard back cookbook:
The Ultimate Chicken Cookbook-page 37!
