1 6 oz bag baby spinach (170g) 4 cups
16 oz cooked chicken (450g) This is about 1 ⅓ lb raw chicken, or use store-bought rotisserie chicken
1 cup strawberries (137g)
1 cup blueberries (143g)
1 Persian cucumber (120g)
¼ cup red onion (50g) sliced
1 oz goat cheese (28g)
1 oz walnuts (28g)

Add the spinach to a medium-sized salad bowl or divide it into 4 portions on dinner plates.
Arrange the chopped chicken, strawberries, blueberries, cucumbers, red onion, goat cheese, walnuts, and slivered basil leaves on top of the spinach.
Serve the salad with dressing on the side. Balsamic vinegar is a terrific simple choice, or you can use vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil, our easy honey balsamic dressing recipe, or your favorite store-bought dressing.

The macros for the salad are just for the salad ingredients and do not include the dressing. This is why we love adding just a drizzle of balsamic vinegar as the dressing. It's packed with flavor but doesn't change the macros by much.
You can reduce the fat even further by leaving out the chopped nuts.
To increase the carbs, adding a healthy starch like quinoa or garbanzo beans.
Our roasted chicken recipe is something we make on repeat every week. Why not double it to save some for the freezer, and assemble easy meals like this during the week?
The total weight of the salad is 1126g and serves 4.
