Tips

I served this salad to my employer for lunch today and it got a big thumbs up! Also used the same recipe to fill a Southwest Salsa Chicken Wrap that I cut into samples to share with the kitchen staff, and we all agreed it should go on the menu as well as the salad itself as a low calorie/low fat option.


Directions

I cooked a small (approx. 4oz.) skinless chicken breast in the oven on parchment paper with no oil, spray etc. for about 20 minutes until it was cooked thoroughly. Then let it cool, cut into medium sized cubes. First I put the chicken in a small mixing bowl and added the salsa first, tossed together, then added the rest of the ingredients, tossed together and served on a bed of fresh spinach. Garnished with a bam of green onion.
