Ingredients :

• 4 cups washed fresh spinach (packaged washed spinach is a time saver)

• 1 cup peeled, seeded cucumber, in half-inch chunks
  
• 1 cup green California seedless grapes, halved
  
• 1/2 cup frozen shelled soybeans (edamame), thawed
  

Sweet ginger dressing:

• 1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar
  
• 1 clove fresh garlic, minced or pressed
  
• 1 Tbsp. minced candied ginger
  
• 4 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  
• 1/2 tsp. toasted sesame oil

Yield: 4 servings

Dressing Preparation:

Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. Or, for a more textured dressing, whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl.

Mixing Preparation:

In a large bowl, combine the spinach, chicken, cucumber, grapes and soybeans. Toss with the dressing and add salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
