      Spinach & Strawberry Meal-Prep Salad

      Low Sodium Low Potassium Low Phosphorus High Protein Diabetes-Friendly Egg-Free No Shellfish Gluten-Free American Chicken Dinner Lunch Salad

      Spinach & Strawberry Meal-Prep Salad

      Low Sodium Low Potassium Low Phosphorus High Protein Diabetes-Friendly Egg-Free No Shellfish Gluten-Free American Chicken Dinner Lunch Salad
      4 servings (1 salad & 1½ tbsp vinaigrette)
      Prep time: 15 minutes
      Total time: 30 minutes

      Description

      This salad recipe requires minimal prep and can be customized to your taste. Swap in roasted salmon for the chicken thighs, and almonds or pecans for the walnuts, and use any fresh berry that looks good at your market.

      Directions

      1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
      2. Place chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle all over with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast, flipping once, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°, 15 to 17 minutes. Set aside to cool, then slice into bite-size pieces.
      3. Divide spinach among 4 bowls or single-serving lidded containers. Top each with one-fourth of the sliced chicken, 1/2 cup sliced strawberries, 1 tablespoon feta (if using) and 1 tablespoon walnuts.
      4. To prepare the dressing: Place oil, vinegar, shallot, mustard, Italian seasoning, remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Or blend in a large glass measuring cup or wide jar with an immersion blender.
      5. Dress each salad with 1 1/2 tablespoons vinaigrette just before serving.

      Tips

      • To make ahead: Store the salad and dressing, separately, in air-tight containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
