Makes 2 dinner salads.

Ingredients:

1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp curry powder
salt and black pepper
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons
lime juice
6 ounces spinach
1 Fiji apple, cored and chopped
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 roasted unsalted cashews
4 scallions, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1. Sprinkle garlic powder, curry powder, salt, and pepper over chicken breast pieces.

2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil until shimmering. Add the chicken and saute until the juices are clear, about 10 minutes.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice (I also added smoked paprika, curry powder), salt, pepper, and olive oil until combined.

4. Divide spinach, apples, raisins, cashews, and scallions among the bowls. Add the chicken and top with cilantro. Serve with dressing on the side.
