Spinach and Kale Salad With Chicken image

The fruit and goat cheese add lots of great flavor. Can add some red onion for more kick. My wife and I love it! A tasty and guiltless dinner item.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb chicken, cooked and sliced
12 ounces kale or 1 bunch kale
12 ounces spinach
2 ounces goat cheese or 2 ounces other flavorful crumbled cheese
1 lemon, juice of
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1 cup mandarin orange section
1 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Prepare the chicken, or get it precooked (like I did -- it's easy). Slice the fruit.
  • Combine strawberries, oranges, honey, balsamic vinegar, and half of the olive oil. Set aside and let rest.
  • Remove and discard stalks from kale and spinach. Tear into manageable pieces, but keep kale and spinach separate.
  • Cover kale with lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Then, crush (or 'massage') the kale until it start to soften.
  • Mix everything together, and top with almonds, goat cheese, and black pepper.

I found the dressing to be a bit bland. I added some lemon juice and it was much better.
