Monday night spinach salad

After a weekend of eating snacks, treats, pub food and beer I am craving a healthy and light dinner tonight. On nights like this I like to throw some chicken on the BBQ and make a fresh, tasty spinach salad. Here’s what I put in mine:

Ingredients

• ¼ medium sized red onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 bunches baby organic spinach, rinsed
• 4 cups sliced strawberries
• ½ cucumber, diced
• 1/4 cup almond slices, toasted
• 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
• 2 large chicken breast, grilled and cut
• Blue cheese salad dressing

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, toss together all ingredients. Pour dressing over salad, toss and serve.
2. For a different flavour combination, replace the almonds and blue cheese with pecans and goat cheese.
3. Pairs nicely with a crisp white wine. I like Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio (see my review here)

Does anyone else have a go-to healthy meal they’d like to share? If so leave your recipe in the comments!
