Chicken Beetroot and Goats Cheese Salad
This super easy salad uses pantry staples like tinned beetroot with healthy proteins for a filling, nutritious lunch or light dinner.
- 2 cups of baby spinach leaves
- Half a chicken breast poached, grilled or taken from a BBQ chicken (I use the breast meat from a BBQ chicken. Just make sure you remove all skin).
- A handful of sweet potato chunks roasted or steamed
- 5 snow pea’s, topped and tailed and cut in half.
- 5 whole baby beetroots (from a can) chopped in half.
- A small wedge of goat’s cheese broken up into smaller pieces.
- Tbsp. olive oil.
- Tbsp. balsamic vinegar.
Directions
- Pat baby spinach leaves dry and place in a large bowl.
- Shred chicken breast into small pieces and place on top of spinach.
- Add sweet potato chunks, snow peas and beetroot.
- Sprinkle goat’s cheese on top of other ingredients.
- Combine olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a small jar or whisk together in a cup/small bowl with a fork and drizzle over the top of the salad (I use a ready mixed oil/vinegar dressing, available at Coles and Woolworths)
- NB you can add any vegetables you like to this combination to up the nutrient count. Grated carrot, corn kernels and cucumber slices all work well. The only limit is your imagination!
