This recipe is packed with protein from the chicken and walnuts, and blood-healthy iron from the spinach. 

Vegetarians can eat this salad too! Instead of chicken breast fillet, fried slices of tofu or a handful of cheese cubes also taste good with it.

For the dressing, peel the garlic and chop finely. Stir with the vinegar, oil, lemon juice and sugar and season with salt and pepper. Drain the chicken breast halves and tear or cut into pieces.
