Easy Lunch Salad

I made this salad without thinking of anything other than I wanted to eat something really good for lunch. I just started pulling things from the fridge and threw this together. Use this as inspiration and just throw one together with whatever you have on hand!



Dressing:

Honey
Dijon Mustard
Balsamic Vinegar
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Chipotle Powder

Put equal parts honey, dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, and EVOO in a small bowl. Whisk until the honey is disolved and all ingredients are incorporated. Finish with a dash of salt, pepper, and chipotle. Keep the portions to about a 1/2 tablespoon if you just want one serving or make a large batch to keep in the fridge.

To build the salad, I started with a bed of spinach and added shaved carrots and finely sliced red onion. I topped it off with some quinoa and a [frozen] panko breaded chicken tender.
