My awesome friend and neighbor Cyndi has given me TONS and TONS of fresh spinach out of her garden.  I’ve frozen some of it as well, but we’ve had fresh salads, BLT’s (well, BST’s), and yummy turkey sandwiches.  My sister got some too, and she’s been making green smoothies with it!  I just got another big bag of it today (and she keeps saying I’m doing her a favor!).  Well, this is a delicious salad, and it’s amazing with this chicken, just sliced cold and added to the top.

Since I was topping it with my favorite creamy poppy seed dressing, I took a picture before it went on.  Look how beautiful that spinach is!
