Creamy Balsamic Chicken and Spinach Salad
Every once in awhile I crave a salad and when I do I love to experiment. 
I whipped this up with what I had on hand and I have to admit, I was quite surprised. Normally I don't like “creamy dressings” but I was in the mood for something different.
The idea here is really the dressing, have fun experimenting!
The Dressing
- 2 tbsp nonfat plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- About ½ tsp garlic powder
- About ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt & Pepper
Whisk all ingredients together and let sit while you prepare the salad.
The Salad
- About 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 tomato diced
- 2-3 oz cooked chicken breast (I used leftover Balsamic Dijon Chicken from the night before)
- 1-2 teaspoon real bacon bits
- About ¼ oz fancy shredded Mexican cheese blend
Pile everything on a plate and top with dressing!
I’m calculating about 250 calories, 8 g of fat and 3 g of fiber for the whole salad with all the dressing.

mmm...this looks great. I make a similar one for lunches and add blueberries to sweeten it up even more!
I am finally writing the dressing recipe down to go on the fridge! :) This is like the 4th time I've had to look it up. I love it!
