Another recipe stolen from my nemesis

Ok, so maybe stolen is a strong word.  Let's say "adapted".  Another recipe adapted from the bodyrock.tv website.  Man, it's hard for me to hate her when her recipes are sooo stinkin good!  And this thing is packed with so much protein, it's gonna keep you goin for miles...

Spinach Salad 
serves 4
*Zuzana uses tuna in her recipe.  I prefer canned salmon because it's moister, you don't have to worry about  mercury and I think it's just a bit tastier.   Also, she uses kidney beans, I used black because I had them on hand, but next time I think I will try garbanzo beans.  I also excluded the garlic (shocking for me, I know) and added some lemon juice.


10 oz bag baby spinach
12 oz can salmon
1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
2 ripe avacados, peeled and diced
3 green onions, chopped
1 apple, peeled, cored and diced

1/2 cup non fat greek yogurt
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1 tbs brown mustard
1 tbs honey
2 tbs olive oil
1 tbs lemon juice
salt and pepper

In a large bowl mix together the spinach, fish, beans, feta, avacados, onion, apple and sprinkle with salt and pepper.


In a small bowl whisk remaining ingredients til combined.  Combine with salad and enjoy.  You'll be full til dinner.  I promise.

  1. I think "nemesis" is a strong word. Why do you dislike her so much?! :)
    Salad looks amazingly delish. I don't eat tuna or salmon so I guess I could eat it without it, huh?

  2. yeah, you could definitely do it without the meat. the Avocado and cheese make it bulky enough...i was thinking it would be good with some dried fruit, cherries or cranberries maybe...
