Chicken and Spinach Salad

with Japanese dressing

We're still recovering from Thanksgiving feasting with this simple salad that's all about the dressing. This Japanese dressing (the creamy, orange one we've seen at every Japanese restaurant) does have quite a list of ingredients, but it's worth the effort (plus your blender does most of the work). Slightly sweet, it'll turn your leftover chicken (or tofu) and quinoa into a whole different dish. Also please forgive me, but I somehow forgot the carrots and cucumbers in my shopping list (even professional meal planners have their days), which is why they're missing in this photo.
