Just about every ingredient in this chicken spinach salad adds to its healthfulness. Spinach is loaded with fiber, vitamins and minerals. Beans are a great source of protein and also contain lots of fiber. Chicken is a lean protein. There’s just a small amount of low fat cheese, which doesn’t add much fat to the dish while enhancing the flavor. A fresh and natural dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and lemon juice keeps the flavors vibrant without weighing you down. It’s a great option if you’re following a heart healthy diet or if you’re trying to eat more protein and fiber because it’s also low calorie, lower in sodium and low in saturated fat.
