Spinach Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette

December 28, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 7 Comments

EDIT:  Error in first e-mail, I forgot an ingredient in my salad, please disregard and use this corrected one!  Sorry for the inconvenience. – Jen

Hello,

Today I have a dentist appointment, yuck!  Not sure what it’s for, I think it’s to be fit for a crown and to decided on when to pull my wisdom teeth out.  Can you believe at my age I have to have my wisdom teeth out.  I am NOT looking forward to that, but when it’s all done and over with, it will be all good!  I just think of other procedures that people have to  go through that is way worse then having my teeth pulled that it helps me think if they can do that, then I can have this done!  Funny how we have to psych ourselves up over these things.

Today I am sharing with you one of my favorite salads.  This is a family favorite too!  It’s healthy quick and super delish!


This salad has feta cheese, though blue cheese crumbles and Gorgonzola cheese is excellent in this salad. It also has chicken, spinach leaves, almonds and of course strawberries.  I saw some nice looking strawberries at the store last night and I automatically thought of this salad.  I also made a fantastic, LOW calorie Strawberry Vinaigrette to go with it.  The dressing takes only a couple of minutes to make.

When I made this dressing I use Napa Valley Organic Balsamic Vinegar, it has zero calories.  I don’t know how that is possible.  But with that, it makes this dressing 3 calories a serving!  Unbelievable!!!

Strawberry Spinach Salad with Strawberry Vinagrette

Ingredients:

2 Cups fresh spinach leaves

2 oz of chicken – cooked

1/2 oz.  feta cheese

1 tbsp.  sliced almonds

4 strawberries – sliced

Directions:

Place everything on a plate!  🙂

Serves 1

Calories for salad without dressing:  139,  Fat:  4,  Sodium:  215, Potassium: 456, Carbs:  7,  Fiber 3,  Protein: 20

Strawberry Vinaigrette

Ingredients:

2/3 cup  strawberries – chopped

1/2 shallot – chopped

1/4 cup – balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup water

2 tsp. fresh thyme

1/4 tsp.  ground pepper

1 1/4 tsp. dijon mustard

Directions:

Place all ingredient in a blender and process until smooth, about 30 seconds

Makes 1 cup

Calories per Tbsp.  3,  Fat:  .01,  Sodium:  10,  Potassium:  13,  Carbs:  1,  Fiber:  .01,  Sugar:  .03,  Protein:  .01

Whats nice about the dressing is that as it sits it thickens up quite a bit and makes for a hearty dressing.

Yesterday I worked out to Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones and today I did kickboxing and boy are my legs sore.  I am not sure what work out made my thighs hurt but one of them did.  Now it’s making me feel lazy.  So much for exercise to give you energy.

As much as I don’t feel like it, I need to go and clean up the Christmas stuff.  Have a great day and wish me luck at the dentist!

      One thing about living in California, we have strawberries all year round. They don’t taste as flavorful as in the summer, but there still good!

    Wow – that is a great salad! I really like the flavor combination! Best of luck with the dentist…I had my wisdoms removed in my 20s. Not fun, but nice to have it over with!

I received some new pillows from Downlite Bedding called the Primaloft Renew Pillow which is perfect for back and side sleepers. They are so soft to touch, slightly firm, machine washable. As you can see Samuel loves them. It put him right to sleep. 
🐾
Downlite Bedding gave my followers a 20% discount code: DYGEN20. Now to try to get my pillow back from Samuel.

I worked on my little corner by updating my bar cart, which is so dangerous because I added candy that I can’t stop eating. I also added  my new Kissing Booth sign from @krumpetshomedecor. 
💋
The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

The Kissing Booth sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get 10% off with code: PBANDP. The link is in my bio. Also Krumpets Home Decor ships to Canada.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
