Asian Apple-Chicken Salad

This recipe came to me this morning from the Produce for Better Living Association and I thought it looked fantastic! You can eat this delicious salad at home or packed it up for a picnic at the beach or park!! The fresh ginger helps to settle upset stomachs, you get chicken for protein, prebiotics from the scallions for all your guy bacteria to munch on (they need lunch too right?!) and a zesty, light dressing to pull it all together!

Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed (or you could use rotisserie chicken if easier)
2 cups apples, cored and cubed
2 tablespoons apple, orange, or carrot juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon mirin (rice wine)
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 pound baby spinach
pepper to taste, if desired

1. Place the chicken and apples in a large bowl.
2. Mix the apple juice, lime juice, sesame oil, mirin, soy sauce and ginger together in a small bowl; pour mixture over the chicken and apples.
3. Sprinkle the parsley, cilantro, and scallions over the top and gently toss to mix. (Cover and refrigerate up to several hours, if desired.)
4. To serve, layer the spinach on a platter and spoon the chicken mixture on top.

ENJOY!!
