So, I hate Lettuce, but I LOVE this salad!!


Probably because it's made with spinach...super simple and I don't have a real recipe. I got the idea one time when I had lunch at La Madeline for the first time. I am not a big salad person at all, but I was having lunch with a colleague and her salad looked good. It's really iceberg lettuce that I hate...I think it has no taste. I have made this salad with baby spinach and mixed greens and it is great either way!


Knock-Off La Madeline Chicken & Spinach Salad


-1 chicken breast for each person that is eating
-fresh baby spinach (enough to fill your bowl)
-red bell pepper, diced (a handful per bowl)
-mushrooms, sliced (a handful per bowl)
-Worchestershire sauce for chicken & fish
-Salt & pepper
-Italian seasoning

Brush worchestershire sauce on chicken and season with salt, pepper & Italian seasoning. Saute in a pan with either a tiny bit of butter or olive oil, depending on how healthy you are trying to be! Slice chicken and place on top of salad made with all other ingredients (spinach, mushrooms, red bell pepper). If desired, top with shredded mozzerella cheese and/or bacon pieces. Best served with balsamic vinegarette dressing, but also good with peppercorn ranch. Super easy and delicious!
