Baby Spinach with Lemon Dressing


Ingredients


1 bagbaby spinach


juice of one lemon ( and maybe a little zest if the lemon isn't super juicy)


3 tablespoonsextra virgin olive oil


1 pintcherry tomatoes, halved


to tastesalt


to tastefreshly ground black pepper


1 cupParmesan cheese, shaved








COMBINE lemon juice with salt and pepper. Stir in oil and mix well.


SEASON spinach and cherry tomatoes with the lemon dressing


TOP with shaved Parmesan cheese





Add a grilled chicken breast and a glass of dry white wine and VOILA! It's a great basic salad you can do a million things with.


Instead of the chicken (or with it) you can also throw in some orzo pasta, or boil up some bulgur and toss that in to make it more filling.


You can also boil up some whole wheat pasta and serve it all over the pasta (with or without the chicken breast)


You can also serve the salad in a pita pocket with some seared shrimp.


Take the salad and add some sliced smoked turkey and some shredded carrot and roll it up in a tortilla.


You can also add some chopped romaine lettuce to it and throw in some chopped walnuts for another terrific salad. Or replace the parmesan with some feta cheese for a whole another new salad. Outstanding. You can replace the lemon juice with just about any vinegar. Try some rasberry vinegar and replace the tomatoes with chopped apple and walnuts or pecans. It's awesome with grilled chicken.


Or use red wine vinegar and throw in some chickpeas and artichoke hearts.

for a snack I like making an apple dip. You cutt up apples and put them on a side plate. then in a bowl you mix lowfat vanilla yogurt, peanut butter, a tiny bit of cinnamon and pinch of brown sugar. Delicious and a smart snack
