Spinach Salad with Chicken, Blackberries, and Goat Cheese

There is so much about this salad that I love.  And when I say “so much,” I mean everything.  Healthy, iron-rich spinach, lean chicken, sweet-tart blackberries, and tangy goat cheese crumbles–what’s not to love?  A nutritious and light meal on the table in under 20 minutes?  Yes please.

    Hi there! My name is Brittany. I just wanted to drop a quick note saying how much I'm enjoying your blog! You choose such interesting food and I've already noted several things I want to make. I can't exactly remmeber how I stumbled upon your little piece of cyber space, but I think it was because someone posted your chocolate chip cookies on pinterest. Anyways, your blog is one of the few that inspired me to start one of my own (www.brittanycooks.com.)! Thank you, and happy eating! 🙂
