How to Make The Best Salad Recipe For Healthy Dressing Without The Fat

  1. Marinate 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast in 2 tbsp Italian dressing, 3 tbsp pickle juice, and 1 tsp hot sauce blend for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator).
  2. Boil 3 large eggs for 10 minutes. Once cool, peel and discard the yolks. Chop the egg whites finely.
  3. Heat 1 tsp peanut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the marinated chicken until cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side).
  4. In a food processor, combine 2 tbsp Thai chili sauce, 1 tbsp fat-free Italian dressing, and 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained). Puree until smooth and creamy.
  5. Chop 1 cup of tomatoes and 1 cup of cucumbers into bite-sized pieces.
  6. In a large bowl, combine 5 oz baby spinach, the cooked and cooled chicken, chopped egg whites, and the prepared dressing. Gently toss to combine.
