Strawberry Spinach Salad Success

I didn't invent the strawberry spinach salad, but I wish I did! My friend TheLoj mentioned it on her blog the other day, and it inspired me to make my own version. I know that there are countless variations of this salad served at restaurants, but I wanted to keep it simple and create a fresh, healthy, but delicious salad. I love the creamy goat cheese with the peppery greens and sweet strawberries. The chicken gives it some protein to last you the rest of the day. It's satisfying, yet low in calories. I'm obsessed with the result and have eaten this salad for lunch four times in the last two weeks! Try it!
