Sun-dried Tomatoes and Spinach Salad (304 calories)


Ingredients (1 serving):

75 to 100 gr Baby Spinach pre-washed and ready to serve 6 cals
6-7 Cherry tomatoes or half of a regular tomato 10 cals
1/3 Regular size cucumber 3 cals
15-16 Dried cranberries 70 cals
1 tbs Roasted sunflower seeds (can be salted too) 80 cals
1-2 tbs Sundried tomatoes 35 cals
2 tbs Sundried Tomato and Oregano dressing 100 cals


Preparation:

In a small or medium salad bowl, place the baby spinach at the bottom. Slice the cherry tomatoes into two pieces and add to the bowl (if you are using regular tomatoes, chop them into small cubes). Chop the cucumber into cubes and add as well. Add the dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and sundried tomatoes. Add the dressing and mix well.

You can also add chopped chicken or turkey breast pieces. You can have it on its own or as a side to a main dish. This serving is enough for a light meal but you may want to increase the quantity of spinach and tomatoes to make a larger salad.
