Apple Spinach Salad


Paraguay - Of the low-calorie, high-nutrition lunch choices, I put spinach and watercress to the top of my list.  

Raw spinach score a 91 on the nutrient balance chart, zero glycemic load, and with a 119 amino acid score it's a complete protein.  For only 7 calories per ounce and zero fat, it's a fabulous diet food.  
Today, I added half an apple and 2 oz of chicken for a complete salad.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups raw baby spinach
- 1/2 apple, sliced, with skin
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 oz cooked chicken breast, skinless
- 7 walnuts (optional)
  No salt needed, a pinch of fleur de sel if desired

Production:
Wash and drain the spinach.  In a bowl, pour the vinegar and oil over the spinach, add the walnuts if desired, toss.  
Pile up the spinach on a small plate, place the sliced apple on top, and add the chicken breast.

Until next meal
