Chicken Avocado Power Salad

Power up!  Have a great big spinach salad for dinner chock full of fresh ingredients that are good for you!  This salad is equally good with any dressing of your choice.  I added in a couple hard boiled eggs as we are always trying to use up extra eggs since our chickens started laying.  Pine nuts are expensive, so I have listed that ingredient as optional.  If you are eating low carb, just leave the corn out.

SALAD:
8 cups chopped spinach (1 bag)
1 cup halved cherry or pear tomatoes
1/2 cup corn (frozen, canned, or cut off the cob)
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 large avocado, sliced
1/3 cup crumbled goat or feta cheese
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts(optional)
DRESSING:
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Place spinach in a large salad bowl. add remaining salad ingredients.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Pour over the salad and toss (a little at a time... as much dressing as you desire).
