I love spinach artichoke dip at restaurants, but not being a fan of GMO-pesticide-filled-and-vegetable-oil-cooked-corn-chips makes dip not so fun! I love the flavors of this dip and wanted to figure out a way to incorporate them in a healthy salad that also included protein. Thus, my Spinach Artichoke Chicken Salad was born.
Spinach Artichoke Salad?
This recipe is a cooler variation of my slow cooker spinach artichoke chicken recipe, that is more refreshing in warmer months. The flavors of spinach and artichoke are classic, but in this salad version I use fresh spinach as a delicious variation with a little crunch.
This recipe is very easy to make and is a delicious and fresh salad. It has the same taste as spinach artichoke dip, but the dairy is optional. The flavors are much more fresh and it is a great meal on the go.
